Exhibition view "Turing`s Apple" - Installation with promptographies

In my installations, they are co-production of human and machine intelligence, I try to evoke associations. The image created by AI, printed with pigments on handmade paper in an old gilded wooden frame, plays with symbols of our cultural history. The prompts are specifically selected, the words point to a long journey through time in our cultural history. Biblical stories, Old Masters and Mannerism...a play on the terms that act as prompts. The fruit of Tree of Knowledge appears several times, and also sculpted with clay and with cables entwined. The materials are symbolic, the tone represents pure creation, white and innocent.... the cables are the seducing “snakes” from the Paradise....we are “seduced”,our knowledge and insights come from Algorithms and made available at the push of a button. It's not humans who bite into the apple, but the machine…the continuation of the fall of man in the times of machine intelligence. We're still at the beginning, but where does this lead?

"Walls - Artificial Dream Images" 2023 - 9 Promptographies, Pigment Ink Prints


As in a dream, algorithms combine images according to our text instructions, combine new impressions and stored knowledge into a graphic remix that seems surreal and yet strangely trusted. The result is disturbing images that resemble dream scenarios and hallucinations - intermediate worlds and parallel realities in which reality and free association mix.

A typical dream of a wall looks something like this: We are walking around somewhere and all the rooms are somehow mixed up, twisted or untraceable.
If someone dreams of a wall, he may feel powerless because he cannot overcome it. But it is also possible that the dreaming feels them as a protective wall behind which he can hide. It is important for the dream interpretation, which function the dream symbol has and what exactly happens to the wall in the dream. In dream interpretation, the dream symbol "wall" generally marks a border. Depending on the individual life situation, the dreaming either feels restricted by something in his life or he has built a protective wall for himself.
