    Dane Palmieri is GlogauAIR resident
    from April, 2024 to June, 2024

    Meet the online resident Dane Palmieri! His practice focuses on emotionally mining sentiment and memory, transforming them into tangible forms through sculptures, installations, and assemblages. These, depict visually the tensions that can form while transposing memories and emotions into imagery.

    Meet the Artist

    During the Residency, the project he’s focusing on is based on Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas: Dane aims to use its organizational techniques to explore his own personal archive. Researching Warburg’s methods, he wishes to classify artefacts and determine their visual presentation, potentially through sculptural interventions or multimedia displays.

    Statement

    My practice is centered on the emotional mining of sentiment and memory, sifting through the strata of lived life and carefully interpreting and preserving the newly constructed realities that surface. The sculptures, installations, and assemblages brought forth from this exploration depict visually the tensions that can form while transposing memories and emotions into imagery.

    I utilize the vestiges of the past as an emotional trigger in order to regenerate these once symbols of being into a state of re-existence. The reduction of these experiences down to their most tangible form opens up an emotionally salient pathway into further understanding what consequence they may hold. Materiality plays a significant role in my ability to evoke such visceral reactions, and a diverse selection of mediums ranging from the found, artistic, heirloom, and decorative, to the commercially available, assists me in their elucidation.

    Melding these elements with techniques first acquired during my youth, such as woodworking, photography, textile practices, and casting processes yields compositions that act as autobiographical palimpsests. The mnemonic qualities that imbue the work assume the role of binder between both the physical and the emotional planes, serving to define each piece and secure their existence.

    Dane Palmieri

    GlogauAIR Project

    The project in which I would like to pursue would be loosely based on the work of the early 20th century art historian and cultural theorist Aby Warburg and his Mnemosyne Atlas.The work would employ various organizational techniques developed and/or utilized by Warburg in order to dissect, categorize, emotionally interpret, and link together parts of my own archive of personal material.These emotionally salient materials range from the sculptural to the photographic, the industrial to the natural, and through to writings, stories, and olfactory sense based experiences. I wish to formulate a process to connect these seemingly arbitrary bits of information into a greater survey of self exploration and understanding.

    In much of my previous work I have focused primarily on singular highly personal objects to invoke memories, emotions, or connections to the past. I built pathways or entry points through these objects to better understand them in a space and time in which we can both occupy simultaneously.This work looks to take a much broader approach, utilizing a multitude of these emotional artifacts to create a larger, more zoomed out, vision of “the why”. The resonance of these artifacts, and how deeply entrenched they are in my psyche, is a constant fascination and enigma.They are fragments of a language I have yet to learn to speak. This work is an attempt to piece together and translate those fragments into a larger narrative.

    The work itself would be developed in multiple stages. Firstly, there would be further research into the methodology of Warburgs organizational and mapping(out) processes, along with other forms of archival and classification techniques. By studying these techniques I hope to plot out a course of action that allows me to identify and classify the various areas I wish to pursue. Through this classification I will begin to select the personal artifacts/elements for which I deem relevant to the larger investigation, labeling and categorizing them accordingly. This will then allow me to determine what form this work will take on visually.Whether the artifacts will be enhanced by sculptural interventions, assemblage, installation, video or sound, or purely display is the part of the process that can not be known beforehand. It is my desire to breathe a new life into each element and allow them to lead the way into the next chapter of our coexistence.

    Evgeniya Korkunova is GlogauAIR resident
    from April, 2024 to June, 2024

    Evgeniya Korkunova is an artist and photographer, who specializes in contemporary photography and personal projects. Her work, characterized by sensuality and minimalism, explores themes of identity and youth. 

    Meet the Artist

    Currently developing the project “Gemini” during GlogauAIR’s residency, she captures the essence of traumatic separation through photography and video. It explores the journey of finding inner strength and identity amidst pain and uncertainty.

    Statement

    Evgeniya Korkunova, 1984, born in Moscow region, Russia. An artist, photographer, working with contemporary photography, personal projects, still life artworks. Also expresses herself working with handmade installations, basically made for the pictures. Evgeniya started as a street photographer, so it formed her perception of color. In 2018 studied in Moscow school of contemporary photography, graduated in 2021 and since then actively worked as an art-photographer. Since 2020 entering an international art community “Photozhir”, works as a resident and competitor, takes part in photographic contests, held and sponsored by different companies (Yandex,Adidas , and others), collective art camps. Started with her personal project “I AM”, exploring the essence and identity of being young, representing her 18-year niece as a hero, metaphorically depicting herself in this way. Now working at the project ‘IN BLOOM”, reflecting the issues of so called “new naivety”, romanticism of youth and its’ fragility. The new current project, that is developed by the artist at Glogauair residence is called “Gemini”. This is the research of a personal experience of traumatic separation that artist is going through these days. Represented by series of pictures (including nature installations, portraits, self-portraits) and video. Artist’s style is sensuality, tenderness and minimalism, accented by the way she works with the light, pastel, pure color and female image. When interacting with still life objects, sometimes the artist uses them as main characters, sometimes involving them into the theme of the project (or idea) as supportive symbols, metaphorically. “When I start working on my projects, it seems I let it go, following my sixth sense, inner feelings, so it comes from within. And this is how it works: it just lives its own life and I continue as a spectator…”

    “Gemini” 2024 It’s a personal project where I comprehend the separation of soulmates and closest people. We live like Gemini with our soulmates, husbands, wives, beloved, for many years, it’s a connection that is so strong,that you can think like another. But someday we should face the separation from beloved, soulmates, parents, past lives,to live our happier lives. It may be only the transformation of the relationship and it becomes stronger and deeper, but if not – the aim is to find inner support, your identity without your part. And move on. It’s a reflection and fears of everyone who ever felt pain, disappointment, resentment or uncertainty of future.

  • Isabel Englebert

    Isabel Englebert

    Isabel Englebert is GlogauAIR resident
    from April, 2024 to June, 2024

    Isabel Englebert is a post-conceptual artist blending science, technology, and philosophy. Through sculptures, videos, and performances, she explores the construction of identity in a hyperreal world using brain waves and genomic maps. Her work aims to innovate art forms and engage viewers in abstract dialogues.

    Meet the Artist

    During the residency, she explores identity and feminist theory, neuroscience, and emerging technologies. Ultimately, this project is a personal quest of the artist to unravel the patterns influencing her identity and that of woman throughout history.

    Statement

    I am an Argentinian, post-conceptual artist working at the intersection of science, technology and philosophy. With a degree in Communication Sciences, and having taken several courses and independent research across very diverse disciplines, I have developed my unique poetic, material and conceptual practice valuing a vision where north and south meet. I extrapolate and juxtapose ideas and techniques from seemingly disconnected fields to engender a unique worldview.

    Since my beginnings, my work has represented for me a tool of self-analysis, introspection and search. Having a traditional upbringing, with a rigorous academic training and a corporate professional career in a multinational, I always respected the classic parameters, without questioning. It was the marked path, and I was who and how I was supposed to be.

    At one point in my journey, going through changes and forging new patterns of thinking, I began to ask myself questions such as: what exactly makes us who we are? How much of the other is there in me? How do I build myself?

    My practice, strongly self-referential (I work with my brain waves, my genome, my brain MRIs, etc.), delves into the concept of identity, reflecting on the ultimate idea of the collective and anonymous subject. I raise the question of the self-construction of the SELF, in these times of revolutionary technological advances and genetic engineering, the principle of eternal change and constant fluidity together with the never more current concept of media hyperreality, intertwined with a surrealist look.

    A very strong drive appears in my research, a need to know, to reach the truth. Is it possible to reach any truth? This question has led me to become obsessed with science, on the one hand, and with philosophy. Which, added to my interest in new technologies, forms the basis of all my research. Each topic I address requires in-depth study, completely immersing myself, training and consulting the best experts.

    My works combine neuroscientific research, brain waves, genomic maps, binary code, algorithms, sound engineering, interactive systems, virtuality and hyperreality. The media I use to express my ideas include sculpture, drawing, video, performance, installation and even Artificial Intelligence and blockchain.

    At the confluence of disciplines, materials and media, I seek to build my own language, giving rise to abstract reflections and dialogues between artist and viewer, while innovating in the forms of representation and experimentation of works of art.

    Title

    GlogauAIR Project

    In this art residency, my objective is to work in the research and development phase for a new series I am working on, in which I delve into the complex and ever-evolving world of feminine identity, focusing on the interplay between the unique wiring of the female brain, societal mandates, and the transformative impact of technology. By employing a self referential approach, I aim to create a series of works that not only reflect my personal experiences but also resonate with the collective consciousness of women in the modern era.

    Central to this exploration is the concept of identity and what truly defines the essence of an individual. In an age where technological advancements and shifting social paradigms are reshaping our understanding of the self, it is crucial to examine how these forces influence the construction of the feminine psyche. Through my work, I intend to question the traditional roles and expectations imposed upon women, while simultaneously highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in the face of rapid technological change.

    To embody these ideas, I will utilize my own worn clothes as the primary medium, infusing each piece with a deeply personal and intimate narrative. These garments, imbued with the traces of my lived experiences, will serve as a metaphor for the layers of societal conditioning and individual identity that shape the female experience. By deconstructing, manipulating, and reassembling these materials, I seek to create a visual language that speaks to the complexity and fluidity of the feminine psyche.

    Furthermore, I am exploring to incorporate the writings of my grandmother, adding an intergenerational dimension to the work. By juxtaposing her words with my own experiences and the contemporary context, I aim to explore the continuity and evolution of feminine identity across time. This dialogue between past and present will illuminate the ways in which the role of women has transformed, while also revealing the enduring challenges and aspirations that unite women across generations.

    As I embark on this artistic journey, I will also delve into the realm of science fiction, using it as a lens to examine the intersection of women and technology. By crafting the backbone of a novel that envisions a future shaped by artificial intelligence and feminist ideals, I seek to explore the potential implications of these developments on the feminine psyche. This speculative narrative will serve as a catalyst for deeper philosophical and scientific inquiry, inviting viewers to consider the ways in which technology might reshape our understanding of gender, identity, and the human experience.

    Alongside these contemporary explorations, I will also draw inspiration from the rich legacy of women artists who have confronted the issues of gender, identity, and feminism throughout history.

    Throughout the residency, I will conduct extensive research, engaging with identity and feminist theory, neuroscience, and emerging technologies. I aim to enrich my artistic practice and create works that are both conceptually rigorous and visually compelling. Ultimately, this project represents a deeply personal and transformative journey, as I strive to unravel the patterns that have shaped my own identity and those of countless women before me.

    Lorenzo Ballerini’s art reflects the nature of contemporary society, using sound and light to shape space and perception. By exploring digital platforms, he challenges identity and connection, capturing the fluidity of social and political structures in our world.

    Meet the Artist

    In “Transimmanency – Web Ecosystems”, Lorenzo explores the dynamics of a digitized society, blending bright installations with interactive web experiences to challenge established power structures. This project aims to engage participants in transformative narratives, with a dialogue within the artistic community.

    Statement

    Lorenzo Ballerini’s work is characterized by a transitory and mutable essence, oriented toward the idea of change as a simulacrum of the intricate political and social dimensions of contemporary society in constant flux.

    Through the use of sound and light, the artist shapes space, manipulating the perception of elements and transforming objects into bodies and vice versa.

    The constant transformation becomes even more tangible through the exploration of digital devices, such as the web, challenging the laws of immanence. In this context, the body itself can change form and migrate to other places, offering a dynamic perspective on the concept of identity and connection in an increasingly interconnected society.

    The artist’s approach emphasizes the fluidity of social and political structures, seeking to capture the essence of change through a multidimensional representation of space.

    GlogauAIR Project

    Project – “Transimmanency – Web ecosystems”

    In a place, immobile objects composed of matter and light fill the space, the visitors know only their place end time, having as their only contact a digitized ticket. Digitized is the world where we live, immersed in a society of control in which, through an illusory system of freedom, whatever we do is tracked and can somehow be used with or without our consent. Socio-economic mechanisms constantly monitor us, creep into our everyday lives and exert their power by making us do exactly what we want. These mechanisms, acting through a network of devices such as the Web, turn individuals and their actions into codes, dehumanized entities ready to be cataloged to become market objects.

    I do not seek solutions to the society of control, but to explore the very mechanisms of this system in order to offer visitors a medium to transform their desire to participate in the experience into a creative gesture, to celebrate their uniqueness in the community.

    The project, “Transimmanency – Web ecosystems”, is part of a research project born in 2023 and explores the trans- interactive function of the web, combining it with an installation of bright resonant objects to create a unique trans- immersive sound-visual experience. The aim is to offer visitors the opportunity to challenge the society of control through the same mechanisms that govern it, providing them a medium to express their creativity and celebrate their uniqueness. Through the use of vibrating transducers, light, and customized web interactions, visitor’s audiovisual generated content is transformed into a new sensory experience, transcending predefined rules and established power structures.

    The online residency offers me an extraordinary opportunity to develop this project, especially to focus my attention on the potential offered by the Web as a medium of interactive expression. The goal is the deepening of online artistic dynamics, exploring the many possibilities of interaction and connection through the digital world. Through this residency, I intend to create works that reflect the fluidity and transformation characteristic of the web, delving into its peculiarities to shape new visual and sonic narratives, to immerse visitors in experiences that transcend the immanence of the body. My research will focus on creating artworks that challenge conventional boundaries, using the web as an interactive and dynamic medium.

    The residency is also an extraordinary opportunity to share my creative process, learn from other artists, and enrich my practice through open and collaborative dialogue. Sharing experiences, artistic growth and building meaningful connections with the local community are key elements of my vision for this residency. I am ready to immerse myself in this experience with dedication and openness, hoping to create works that inspire and promote constructive dialogue in the contemporary art context.

    Naohiro Maeda, a lens-based artist from Japan, explores memory, identity, and belonging. Collecting raw data during commutes, he reconstructs landscape images with Photoshop, reflecting on recollection and representation in photography.

    Meet the Artist

    Who are you?
    I am a visual artist originally from Japan and currently living in Ansbach, Germany. I studied fine art photography when I was in Massachusetts several years ago. I work as a translator and like to practise piano and yoga as well.

    How would you describe your artistic practice?
    I use photography and embroidery for my artistic practice. Most subjects are landscapes I captured in daily life. Through the practices, I explore memory, identity and space.

    What is your methodology or process for creating a new project?
    I take photos with a digital camera, mostly in the passenger seat through the window. Then, I deconstruct the raw data with the image correction tools in Photoshop and apply embroideries on the printed photos.

    Tell us about the project you are working during your online residency at GlogauAIR
    Fortunately we had a chance to live in Alaska and Germany for a few years due to my partner’s job. As I do regularly after graduating from photography school. I keep taking photos while sitting in the passenger seat.

    I broke those raw data with the overuse of the image correction tools in Photoshop until they don’t hold a single vanishing point, then I repaired the broken images with my hand embroidery.

    Through the practice, I explored the ambiguity of my identity and memories as an immigrant/alien. Those images reflect the quiet comfort of displacement and not knowing how life unfolds.

    How did you decide to introduce embroidery in your photography work?
    A few years ago, my friend taught me how to crochet. We made amigurumi together. Since then I have been into crochet and knitting. I felt closer to the needlework mediums more than others. Having colours and textures in my hands gives me joy unconditionally. So I have been looking for a way to incorporate my photographic practice with needlework for a while. Some months ago I started practising embroidery. When I started trying whitework embroidery, the idea of mending the winter landscapes in Alaska and Germany came to me and I forgave myself to try embroidery on photo prints.

    What is the role of artificial intelligence in the creation of your images?
    I use image correction tools in Photoshop. I try to give them the new dimension and perspective which the original raw data didn’t have.

    In that regard, what is your position on artificial intelligence in relation to creative and artistic work?
    I hope I can be someone who questions a viewer. So far I am only curious about how they see the raw data and manipulate it with the new given dimensions and perspectives. I only use tools for image correction in an unconventional way to attain multiple vanishing points.

    What are other artists that you admire and follow what they do?
    I admire painters like Helen Frankenthaler and Richard Diebenkorn for their colour field paintings. I have not seen their works in person yet but I could have seen the works of Agnes Martin, Hans Hofmann and Mark Rothko when I was in Massachusetts. I also admire Hiroshi Kawano’s works and his writings about generative art.

    Statement

    Naohiro Maeda is a lens-based artist from Japan. Through his practice, he explores the inconsistency and uncertainty of his memory, identity, and sense of belonging as an immigrant in the states and a foreigner in Germany. He collects raw data during commutes in a vehicle with a DSLR and makes reconstructed landscape images with Photoshop. He retouched and collaged landscape images with the help of the intelligence of the software, he creates multiple vanishing points in a plate and meditates on recollection and representation of the photos.

    GlogauAIR Project

    In this project, “Guided Collages” I explored how generative art could be created using the raw data from SLR cameras and Photoshop functions, which many photographers use today. I set up various algorithms to allow the intelligence within Photoshop to collage the raw data and output the images. While leaving it up to their intelligence to decide how to seam and retouch the images, I selected the inputs and adjusted the programs so they could create a collage that a human could appreciate as a landscape photograph collages.

    In Valeria’s research, she looks  into personal identity, exploring the mind-body connection and vulnerability through a combination of existential therapy and psychoanalytic methods. Through watercolor, she offers a versatile expression of emotions.

    Meet the Artist

    Valeria’s project with GlogauAIR explores emotions, using a metaphorical box to reveal inner conflicts. Inspired by surrealism and existentialism, it motivates viewers to introspect beyond societal norms, fostering dialogue and interpretation.

    Statement

    The main topic of my creative research is personal identity. I work with mind-body connection, vulnerability, psychological injuries, drawing on a combination of existential therapy and psychoanalytic methods, inviting viewers to consider looking deep within themselves.

    The arsenal of my art media is selected for each separate concept statement. The complex and plastic nature of water color allows the expression of a multitude of emotions, with the help of genres from photorealism to abstraction, from subtle pastel shades to saturated deep colors.

    GlogauAIR Project

    The project is an intriguing and deep work with emotion experience. Valeria explores the theme of feelings, both those repressed unconsciously and those endured with awareness. In her work, the artist uses the metaphor of a box to confront the viewer with her inner state and reveal her behavioral patterns. The central conflict is the contradiction between desires and feelings. The artist’s work seeks dialog with the viewer, urging them to become a co-author of the work. Like the works of Salvador Dali and René Magritte in the genres of surrealism and existentialism, this project offers the viewer an opportunity to look inside themselves, to see themselves for what they are, beyond the achievements of society, science and culture. The mechanisms that invite the viewer to dialog open the way to a deeper understanding, but leave ample room for interpretation.

    Statement

    Vivian Hou is a conceptual and visual artist practicing across works on paper, spatial installations, 3D design, and rave happenings. Her works are remnants of a search for transcendence before the technological, architectural, spiritual, and biological absurdities of our time.

    Hou’s practice digs into ancient understandings of the cosmos, often drawn from Daoist texts, and renders these concepts in an atemporal visual language where ink and charcoal join with 3D material simulations, AI generations, and internet memes in a multi-stepped process. By joining sound, lighting, and interactivity at architectural scale, her installation works are conceptual environments, meeting points of ethereal worlds within the digital and spiritual realms that underlie our reality.

    GlogauAIR Project

    During the GlogauAIR program, Vivian will be working on a new body of multimedia visual work that explores our collective alienation from sublime universal forces, caused by the complex and absurd conditions of our time. Through combining ink and charcoal illustration, found image, and live organisms, the series links ancient conceptions of imagined realms (the ether, heaven) and contemporary ones (digital space). The work explores a desire to find release through departing from a harsh reality, an amalgamation of material and conceptual themes within Hou’s larger body of work on ancient cosmology and the spiritual aspects of technology.

    Statement

    The concept of vanishing point has long been in charge of 25hr sailing’s ‘misconception’ of depth. Along with their eyes that have been trained to recognize vanishing points, there were many tools, technologies, and specialized equipment that construct different focuses that constitute the field of visibility. An eye bound to the surface of a flat screen pushes the image into another surface that grows and shrinks both lightly and quickly. Is an eye that reads depth from an image the same as an aged eye?

    The left and right eyes on our faces see the same object as slightly dislocated and overlapped images. When the two minutely different scenes are combined into one, a sense of seeing three-dimensional objects starts operating. Thus, to see the depth and thickness of objects, our eyes must ‘have a gap’ between them. A scene has to be overlapped in a slightly ‘dislocated’ manner. And this sense of ‘having a gap,’ ‘being dislocated,’ and ‘overlapping’ are the frames through which 25hr sailing deals with their subject, Kukdo Theater. Of course, Kukdo Theater has already been in the state of an overlap in dislocation for a long time. In the exhibition Descend towards Vortex,3 25hr sailing takes Kukdo Theater –which is demolished to become the Hotel Kukdo – as a landing point where the time that has not arrived ‘yet’ and the space that has arrived ‘already’ encounter each other, reading it in a continuous stream of culture.

    25hr sailing gathers newspaper articles, books, academic papers, and accounts about Kukdo Theater to summarize the narrative of the building, which is coupled with images of the building’s surface. Soft curves that are taken from plants, columns that stand in a vertical direction, splendid decorations, and straight-lined windows: As figures from different periods are layered over the architectural surface of Kukdo Theater, a pattern of time dislocated from the official records.
