"As I create only one of a kind, so nobody including me, can come back to the same motive.., they are "digital originals", which is paradox...as printing technology is turning them into infinite, unlimited serials"
Annette Hünnekens
I started to do 2D computer graphic prints since I got my first computer in the mid 80s The prints were visualized parts of my theoretical research on the history of mimesis and simulation as cultural techniques. I followed two points of interest: perception and manipulation, based on "rules".
Within lots of tests I found out, at which point we do start to recognize something as a meaningful "thing" and when this "thing" disappears after a set of manipulations. In general I sort of strategically "over did" the use of the applications and let run several algorithmics more than hundred times after one another on photos or paintings. It happened, that the picture disappeared completely in some sort of chaos and appeared as a completely different one with totally new meaning. I usually select several specific stills from the transformation process as prints, without keeping the data.
In addition to the technical work I did 2D and 3D paper works and tried to do the same by using traditional techniques like origami, montage or collage. Time was a crucial part of the creative manipulation proces.
Thirty years later, I switched to the only use of low tech for 3D manipulations, doing research on virtual objects The manipulations in a three dimensional world are leading to effects on the whole defined space itself, including both sides: outside and inside a virtual sculpture, i.o.w. the "positive" and the "negative space". As it is possible to navigate through the sculpture with moving my finger along the screen, I get unlimited viewpoints and insights of the sculpture. Zooming in and out and variate the angles where to look at is giving me lots of frames and weird impressions of the manipulation's results. Most of the prints are serials of such transformation processes, seen from different viewpoints, which can be described as "endo" or "exo" mode. Since the year 2014 I started to show my prints and virtual presentations at several places and was part of the European Project "6pm your local time Europe" in Austria 2015 and 2017 at Dadaclub online in Italia. Since 2015 I also sell these prints to open minded and visionary targets of the economic world as well as to the private sector and work also on individual orders. As I am constantly working on new aspects of the virtual sculpture, exciting new serials and prints are awailable evey month.
In 2018, after several exhibitions, I became an official artist member of GEDOKKarlsruhe, Germany.
