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.

EXHIBITION

PANELS OF PERCEPTION: DIVERSE DIMENSIONS by Anne Spalter invites viewers to journey through a kaleidoscope of contrasting worlds and narratives. In this intricate composition, the notion of value takes center stage, as we explore everything from the allure of precious gems to the resonance of human creativity and the fervor of organized sports, particularly football in the United States.
At first glance, this masterpiece offers a mesmerizing tableau, with a floating fox in ethereal suspension alongside a luminous UFO. These enigmatic elements symbolize the transcendence of earthly boundaries and hint at the mysteries of the universe, prompting contemplation of our collective fascination with the extraterrestrial.
In one panel, a giant diamond gleams with opulent splendor, a beacon of material wealth. It symbolizes the tangible value we ascribe to rare and precious objects, the allure of which often lies in their scarcity and the eternal fascination with their intrinsic beauty.
In another panel, a line of sports balls, including a football, evokes the fervor and unity ignited by organized sports, especially football, in American culture. These spheres represent the intrinsic value of physical prowess, competition, and the communal experience of cheering for a beloved team. The shared passion for sports often transcends mere entertainment, becoming a powerful force that binds communities together.
Through <meta charset="utf-8"> PANELS OF PERCEPTION, we are encouraged to juxtapose and contemplate these divergent facets of value. Gems, creativity, and organized sports each elicit distinct emotional responses and societal significance. The painting prompts us to consider the relative worth we assign to these elements and how they intersect in our lives.
