Landscape beyond reality

Today, reality and artificiality are becoming more and more indistinguishable. Sven Drühl’s artistic strategy resembles that of a visual DJ: he reinterprets, mixes, de-emotionalises, controls and works with contemporary materials like car finish and silicon. The painter, mathematician, art historian and dancer Sven Drühl (b. 1967) appropriates images from the collective cultural memory and transfers them into the digital age. With unconventional means, he is able to show how profoundly “information technologies permeate phenomena in the physical world.” (Villem Flusser)
