Jakob Kudsk Steensen (geb. 1987 in Dänemark; lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) schafft immersive Installationen, die oftmals übersehene oder bedrohte Ökosysteme durch virtuelle Simulationen zum Leben erwecken. In seiner neuesten, von Caspar David Friedrich inspirierten - und anlässlich des 250. Geburtstages des Malers in der Hamburger Kunsthalle präsentierten - Arbeit setzt sich Steensen mit einem eindrucksvollen Naturphänomen auseinander: den Ephemeral Lakes, periodisch auftretenden Wasseransammlungen in trockenen, kargen, oft wüstenartigen Landschaften. Dafür schafft der Künstler eine Installation bestehend aus Video-, Sound-, Licht- und skulpturalen Elementen. Die Klangkomposition des Projektes entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Okkyung Lee und Lugh O'Neill.   Die Publikation The Ephemeral Lake eröffnet Einblicke in die Forschungsreisen des Künstlers zu den ephemeren Seen in den Wüstenregionen der USA. Essays von Claire L. Evans, Liz Stumpf und Ulrich Schrauth führen in Steensens künstlerische Praxis ein. In einem Gespräch mit dem Autor und Kurator Shumon Basar spricht der Künstler über einige seiner Inspirationsquellen: Videospiele, Landschaftsmalerei und Science-Fiction. Ausschnitte der Kurzgeschichte Man-O-War der renommierten Autorin Claire Vaye Watkins liefern eine literarische Ergänzung zu Steensens Blick auf die endlosen Wüstenlandschaften des amerikanischen Westens. Die Publikation schließt mit einem Beitrag von Alexander Klar (Direktor Hamburger Kunsthalle), der sich mit den Parallelen in den Arbeitsweisen von Caspar David Friedrich und Jakob Kudsk Steensen befasst.    Inspired by Caspar David Friedrich  Jakob Kudsk Steensen (b. 1987 in Denmark; lives and works in Berlin) creates immersive installations that bring typically overlooked or endangered ecosystems to life in virtual simulations. Kudsk Steensen's latest work is inspired by Caspar David Friedrich and presented at Hamburger Kunsthalle on the occasion of the painter's 250th anniversary. It investigates a captivating natural phenomenon: ephemeral lakes, bodies of water that periodically appear in arid, barren, and often desert-like landscapes. The artist has created a site-specific installation for the Kunsthalle, consisting of video, sound, light, and sculptural elements. The soundscape was developed in close collaboration with Okkyung Lee and Lugh O'Neill.  The publication The Ephemeral Lake offers a gateway into the multilayered world and the starting point of the project-research trips to the ephemeral lakes of the desert regions in the US undertaken by the artist. Essays by Claire L. Evans, Liz Stumpf, and Ulrich Schrauth further give an introduction to the artist's visionary practice. In a conversation with writer and curator Shumon Basar the artist talks about his sources of inspiration: videogaming, landscape painting, and science fiction. The catalogue includes an essay by Alexander Klar (director of Hamburger Kunsthalle), which identifies parallels in the practice of Caspar David Friedrich and Jakob Kudsk Steensen. Excerpts from the short story Man-O-War by renowned author Claire Vaye Watkins provide a new dimension to Steensen's view of the vast desert scenery of the American West.

Inspiriert von digitalen Technologien und Szenerien aus Computerspielen schafft die Künstlerin Mary-Audrey Ramirez (geb. 1990 in Luxemburg, Luxemburg; lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) immersive Welten, die aus ihrem eigenen inneren Kosmos stammen. Ihre Installationen erwecken beim Betrachten den Eindruck, sich inmitten von Games zu befinden. Dafür macht sie sich auch das kreative Potenzial künstlicher Intelligenz zunutze. Ramirez sieht dies als Zusammenarbeit von Mensch und Maschine, die sich gegenseitig in ihrem Schaffensprozess unterstützen. Fakten und Fiktionen miteinander zu verbinden sowie die stetige Migration des Digitalen in unsere Welt sind integrale Bestandteile ihrer Praxis. Dabei erscheinen die Arbeiten der Künstlerin wie eine Reise in ihre nächtlichen Träume. Forced Amnesia ist die zweite umfangreiche Monografie (XOXO, Winter Is Coming, DISTANZ, 2020) der Künstlerin anlässlich ihrer Ausstellungen in der Kunsthalle Gießen und dem Casino Luxembourg. Essays von Nadia Ismail, Damien Mecheri und Ji-Hun Kim untersuchen Ramirez' Praxis. Mit einem künstlerischen Textbeitrag von Julia Scher. Artistic Intelligence and Gaming Universes: Level Up! Taking inspiration from digital technologies and sceneries from computer games, the artist Mary-Audrey Ramirez (b. Luxembourg, Luxembourg, 1990; lives and works in Berlin) creates immersive worlds that spring from the cosmos of her inner mind. Her installations make the viewers feel like they have been transported to inside a game. To realize them, she also taps into the creative potential of artificial intelligence. As Ramirez sees it, such collaboration between human and machine lets both sides support each other in their creative processes. The blending of fact and fiction and the ongoing migration of the digital into our world are integral components of her practice. Reading as voyages straight into her nightly dreams, her works are suffused with a dystopian beauty, with flashes here and there of a subtle sense of humor that lighten the impact of her motifs and provide relief from the powerful sense of gloom. Forced Amnesia, the artist's second comprehensive monograph (XOXO, Winter Is Coming, DISTANZ, 2020), is released on occasion of her exhibitions at Kunsthalle Gießen and Casino Luxembourg. Essays by Nadia Ismail, Damien Mecheri, and Ji-Hun Kim analyze Ramirez's practice. With a piece of creative writing contributed by the artist Julia Scher.
