Details
Under the Neue Deutsche Kunst alias Marc Richter (also known for his musical project Black To Comm) is testing the boundaries of AI software by overloading it with surreal and confusing tasks and information (all within a visual framework of his own making). The AI is trying to make sense of these almost poetic texts by hallucinating lysergic artworks and films.
Richter's visual works are as much influenced by German folklore and fairytales as well as actionist performance, psychedelic art and the writings of Angela Carter and JG Ballard.
In 2024 he has won the MuVi Award at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.
