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.

ART FOX. VALUE SYNTHESIS AND AI is Anne Spalter’s first solo exhibition at the gallery in Berlin. On view will be paintings, drawings, NFTs, sculptures, and a coloring book. The exhibition seeks to unravel the intricate interplay between perceived value and inherent worth, exploring how societal, economic, and individual perceptions, augmented by artificial intelligence, mold our understanding of what is truly valuable.

EXHIBITION

STELLAR SOJOURN is a 3D-printed sculpture that encapsulates a surreal coexistence between the natural world and the realm of science fiction. Central to this artwork is an iridescent fox, depicted in a state of tranquil lounging atop a UFO. The fox's shimmering, color-shifting coat symbolizes the mystical and otherworldly, while its relaxed posture suggests a sense of peace and harmony.
The UFO, rendered in a muted gray with striking orange windows, provides a stark, almost industrial contrast to the organic and fluid form of the fox. This juxtaposition not only highlights the visual interplay between color and form but also narrates a story of coexistence between the natural and the artificial, the terrestrial and the extraterrestrial.
This sculpture's journey from concept to reality bridges traditional artistry and contemporary digital technology. Originating from selections of the show’s oil paintings, the elements were processed by Artificial Intelligence, which extracted a 3D model from the two-dimensional data. This translation from paint to pixels to 3D model, and ultimately to a physical form, showcases the fascinating interplay between human creativity and AI interpretation.
The use of 3D printing as the medium for this sculpture symbolizes a new era where digital processes complement and extend the artist's capabilities, allowing for the realization of imaginative concepts that defy conventional artistic boundaries.
STELLAR SOJOURN invites viewers to contemplate a moment of quietude and balance in an otherwise unimaginable scenario. The iridescent fox, with its ethereal beauty and composed demeanor, represents nature's adaptability and enigmatic charm. The UFO, a quintessential icon of human curiosity and futuristic aspirations, embodies our ongoing fascination with the unknown and the possibilities that lie beyond our earthly confines.
Together, the fox and the UFO in STELLAR SOJOURN are more than just a meeting of two entities; they are a harmonious blend of fantasy and reality, urging us to imagine a universe where different worlds and beings coexist in peaceful accord, and where art transcends traditional mediums to explore the boundless potential of imagination and technology.
