Artrit Bytyçi
Artrit Bytyçi currently lives and works in New York City, where he shares his time between scientific research and creative writing. He lives in a state of perpetual evolution, as he tries to approach art with an experimenter's curiosity, and to think about science with artist's playfulness. To date, all such attempts have given inconclusive results. Nevertheless, the experiments continue in the many places that Artrit calls home: Prishtina, Prizren, Tivar, Tirana, and New York City.
