An artist, an inventor and a visionary, Panamarenko has conducted an exceptional long-term research on concepts such as space, movement, flying, energy and gravity. His work is a combination of an artistic insight and a technological experimentation.
As an introduction to his practice M HKA has mapped out almost his entire oeuvre in a chronologically and thematicly structured digital platform. M HKA would like to share the gathered information further with the public. Welcome to the digital archive!

'If you make a truly functioning robot, then I think you'd pretty quickly say: I'll make my own coffee!  But with these little chicks that problem fell away, because they didn't have to do anything else but run around and just 'be chickens'...'' - Panamarenko
