INFLATABLE METAVERSAL FRIENDS by Anne Spalter delves into our relationship with technology, particularly the screens that dominate much of our modern lives. We spend countless hours interacting with digital devices, creating and consuming content, and forging identities within the virtual realm. This relationship is mirrored in this series of metaversal avatars, which reflect our digital personas back to us.

ANNE SPALTER & NATHANIEL STERN | FUTURE MYTHOLOGIES

When exploring new territories, it is often helpful to not walk alone. That’s probably why we see more and more artists collaborating on projects in the NFT space. Experiences can be shared and expertise combined. When Anne Spalter and Nathaniel Stern met, they both knew it was meant to be. Their encounter influenced their artistic practice and impacted their work with AI. Spalter and Stern have been collaborating ever since, exploring video, poetry, and AI. 

In conversation with Anika Meier, the artists discuss their practice, working together, and the present and future of AI. And, of course, the conversation was also about Spalter Digital, one of the world’s largest private collections of early computer art, comprising over 1000 works from the second half of the twentieth century.

ALGORITHMIC POETRY

ANNE SPALTER & NATHANIEL STERN: AT THE FOREFRONT OF AI

Anne Spalter knows how to help herself. When she was looking for a book about the pioneers of early computer art, she couldn't find an in-depth publication, so she wrote it herself. It took her six years to finish the book. Spalter took the time to speak with artists like Herbert W. Franke, Frieder Nake, and Manfred Mohr. When she first heard about artists working with technology, she wasn't convinced; she thought computers were for science. Her initial reaction helps her understand the sometimes negative responses to artists working with the latest technologies. Spalters herself became an artist interested in creating art with new technologies; she is a pioneer in the field of AI and, together with Michael Spalter, stewards one of the world's largest private collections of early computer art.

BIT BY BIT: DIGGING DEEPER by Anne Spalter is a testament to the multifaceted nature of human creativity and the profound ways in which we create and ascribe value in an increasingly interconnected world. This enigmatic composition invites viewers to delve into the intricate layers of our collective consciousness, where the tangible and the ethereal converge in a captivating dance of symbolism and interpretation.
At its heart, <meta charset="utf-8">
BIT BY BIT captures the essence of transformation, presenting a cunning fox tirelessly engaged in the act of mining for diamonds. The juxtaposition of this earthly endeavor with a colossal, celestial drill descending from the heavens is a striking embodiment of the interplay between human aspiration and the transcendent.
Below this celestial apparatus, white foxes dance with an ethereal grace, evoking the timeless allure of folklore and the ephemeral nature of our desires. These spectral dancers represent the intangible essence of creativity, reminding us that value is not solely derived from physical objects but can be equally cultivated through the fertile soil of human imagination.
The collision of artificial intelligence's generative prowess with the tactile strokes of hand-painted oil illustrates the convergence of technology and tradition, mirroring the duality of contemporary human existence. <meta charset="utf-8">
BIT BY BIT challenges us to question the very essence of value, prompting us to consider whether our pursuits lie in the tangible gems buried deep within the earth or in the boundless realm of human ingenuity.
This painting encourages viewers to explore the depths of their desires and the transformative power of creativity. It suggests that, in the grand tapestry of existence, value is not merely a product of physical wealth but is also woven from the threads of imagination, innovation, and the indomitable spirit of exploration. <meta charset="utf-8">
BIT BY BIT: DIGGING DEEPER reminds us that our quest for value is an ever-evolving dance, a harmonious blend of the tangible and the transcendent, forging a path towards a richer, more profound understanding of our creative human essence.
