Boris Vaitovič's artistic work is devoted to the relativization of established schemes of thinking and their visual representations. Theoretically, he studies the historical connection between science and art and the overlap of these tendencies into the present. His work is realized in the medium of painting, printmaking, photography, new media art and audiovisual interactive installations, especially in the "Art & Science" segment. In recent years he has been working mainly on ecologically oriented projects, using residual energies and original hardware solutions. He is the author of several radio bands, rehabilitation station for UNLP in Košice. He has been presenting his works in galleries and media festivals at home and abroad.
