Bio

Marcus Wallinder, known as Meanwhile In Nowhere, is a minimalist graphic artist whose work combines AI-driven processes with traditional digital techniques to create visually striking and thought-provoking compositions. With a foundation in photography and graphic design, Marcus draws from influences like minimalism, surrealism, metaphysics, geometric abstraction, and evolving cultural zeitgeists. His monochromatic works, fragmented portraits, and dreamlike distortions explore the delicate balance between order and chaos, form and abstraction.

Growing up in a family impacted by addiction, Marcus experienced the early loss of both parents, a background that deeply informs his artistic journey. This environment sparked a need to express himself creatively, shaping a visual language that explores themes of identity, loss, and connection. His art transforms challenging memories into profound visual stories, capturing complex emotions beyond words.

Embracing the potential of generative AI, Marcus introduces an element of unpredictability that mirrors his fascination with technology and the unknown. Like surrealist artists tapping into the subconscious, he employs “promptography”—an integration of AI and human creativity—to access a collective digital unconscious. His work underscores the co-dependence between human imagination and AI’s limitless potential, suggesting that the future of art will emerge from this partnership.

Through his art, Marcus invites viewers to reflect on the human experience, framing his compositions as meditations on navigating both inner and outer worlds. For him, AI is not a replacement but a creative tool that amplifies his vision, enabling him to capture the intricate and intangible aspects of existence.
