David Sypniewski and Magda ‘Bronka‘ Braniewska
August 2022
David Sypniewski and Magda ‘Bronka‘ Braniewska work in different fields but sometimes unite their effort to create multidisciplinary art pieces. Like the Anger Throwing app, which allowed to send group e-mails to people responsible for tightening the Polish abortion law with one click. Or the Power of Algorithm, an interactive installation designed as a social experiment.
David Sypniewski is a designer specialising in interactivity, an anti-discrimination trainer, a culture animator (a Polish version of community artist), and an activist. Currently, he is a lecturer in the Design faculty at the School of Form, SWPS University (Warsaw). He was born in France to a family of political refugees from Poland. David graduated from Cultural Studies (masters), Intercultural Communication (postgraduate studies), Creative Coding (postgraduate studies) and Anti-discrimination Training Academy (one-year course). He co-founded the Culture Practitioners Association, where he worked with refugees, girls from a correctional facility, teachers and young people from border towns.
Furthermore, he was also active in the male group Voices Against Violence. Sypniewski is the author of the Anger Throwing app, allowing the expression of anger by sending group e-mails to people responsible for tightening the abortion law in Poland in October 2020. The application sent about a million messages.
