Curated by Friedrich Gräfling
Three artists – Jorinde Voigt, Anne Hardy and Hynek Martinec – will present methods that were once common in architecture but seem to have been forgotten in the fast-evolving age of digitalisation and computer-aided design. The sequence of the presentations mirrors that of an architectural design process – mapping, designing, rendering and building.
First, Jorinde Voigt will talk about how she develops graphic algorithms out of static data, translating music or the flight path of eagles, for example, into a visual display combining points, lines, coordinate systems, numbers, symbols, words, shading and colour. The line is the determinant of Voigt’s artwork. Anne Hardy continues this process by designing a fictional reality through one-to-one models, which are then photographed – a technique that both creates an effect of alienation and gives the work a documentary substance. Finally, Hynek Martinec creates an atmospheric scene around a given design in the form of photo-realistic painting. The artists’ presentations, which focus on their working process, will lead into an open discussion, moderated by the German writer and art critic Lavinia Neff.
