Il est titulaire d'une maîtrise en mise en scène théâtrale et d'une licence en art dramatique de l'Académie nationale des arts du théâtre et du cinéma "Krastyo Sarafov" (Sofia, Bulgarie).
Il a étudié l'improvisation jazz au Vienna Konservatorium / jazz department (Autriche) et la programmation informatique à LearningTree (Londres, Royaume-Uni) et a été consultant en informatique pour le bureau des Nations unies à Vienne. Il est cofondateur du label de nouveaux médias THIS.PLAY [2013], basé à Vienne, axé sur les technologies interactives et l'art, et maître de conférences associé depuis 2012 dans le domaine des médias et des technologies numériques (médias interactifs / médias expérimentaux) à l'Université des sciences appliquées (St. Pölten, Autriche) et, depuis 2016, maître de conférences invité à la National Academy of Art (programme de maîtrise en arts numériques / "Performative Media") - Sofia, Bulgarie.
Il est boursier de l'Akademie Schloss Solitude [2015-2017] - Stuttgart, Allemagne et de l'Akademie Hallein [2014] - Hallein, Autriche. Pour ses travaux, il a obtenu des prix, des bourses et des subventions de ProHelvetia, de la Fondation Soros, de ComputerSpace, du ministère de la culture - Bulgarie, du BKA - Autriche, de l'Akademie Schloss Solitude, de l'Akademie Hallein, entre autres.
Depuis 2004, il travaille professionnellement en tant qu'artiste dans le domaine des "médias performatifs", empruntant aux pratiques contemporaines du théâtre, de la musique et de la danse, développant des compositions de musique générative et de motion graphics, créant des œuvres audiovisuelles basées sur des technologies interactives et utilisant des techniques telles que la sonification, la musification, le comportement artificiel et les systèmes instables. Il travaille comme éducateur à travers l'Europe dans le domaine des arts numériques, des arts sonores et de la performance. Les influences d'Antoni proviennent des pratiques artistiques de Jerzy Grotowski, John Cage, Alvin Lucier, Marcel Duchamp, Samuel Beckett, Tristan Tzara, entre autres.
En concevant et en construisant des "instruments" performatifs, il situe le média comme un partenaire créatif et souvent comme un protagoniste et un auteur, en plus d'employer le public comme un participant actif et un co-auteur. En intégrant la poétique et l'intention artistique de ses compositions directement dans une représentation technologique, il tente de découvrir et de révéler des processus et des enchevêtrements cachés, souvent à la limite de résultats imprévisibles, laissant l'œuvre d'art se déployer "ici et maintenant".

He studied jazz improvisation at the Vienna Konservatorium / jazz department (Austria) and computer programming at LearningTree (London, UK) and was an IT consultant for the United Nations Office, Vienna. He is a co-founder of the Vienna-based New Media label THIS.PLAY [2013], focused on interactive technologies and art, and a associate lecturer since 2012 in the Media and Digital Technologies (Interactive Media / Experimental Media) at the University for Applied Science (St. Pölten, Austria) and since 2016, a guest lecturer at the National Academy of Art (Digital Arts MA program / "Performative Media") - Sofia, Bulgaria.
He is a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude [2015-2017] - Stuttgart, Germany and Akademie Hallein [2014] - Hallein, Austria. For his works, he obtained awards, fellowships and grants from ProHelvetia, Soros Foundation, ComputerSpace, Ministry of culture - Bulgaria, BKA - Austria, Akademie Schloss Solitude, Akademie Hallein, among others.
Since 2004 he is working professionally as an artist in the field of "performative media", borrowing from contemporary theatre, music and dance performance practices, developing generative music and motion graphics compositions, creating audiovisual works based on interactive technologies and using techniques such as sonification, musification, artificial behavioral and unstable systems. He works as an educator across Europe within the field of Digital Arts, Sonic Arts and performance. Antoni's influences stem from the artistic practices of Jerzy Grotowski, John Cage, Alvin Lucier, Marcel Duchamp, Samuel Beckett, Tristan Tzara among others.
Through designing and building performative "instruments", he situate the media as a creative partner and often as a protagonist and an author, in addition to employing the audience as an active participator and co-author. By embedding the poetics and artistic intent of his compositions directly into a technological representation, he attempts to uncover and reveal hidden processes and entanglements, often at the border of unpredictable results, letting the artwork unfold "here and now".
