Wasserfarben

Video Installation 2024

Artist: Julian Pixel Schmiederer

With the help of several AI systems, still image close-ups of brushstrokes are mixed with video close-ups of waves. By intentionally misleading the AI, unique images are created.

Wasserfarbe (Watercolors) can be shown both as an analog print and as a video installation. The video work is presented on three screens, which are built into picture frames. The images move so slowly that only on closer inspection it becomes clear thatthey are actually videos. In that sense, the work is more like three eternally evolving images than a classic video installation.

Wasserfarbe (Watercolor) is the first published work of a whole series, exploring AIbased style transfer in interaction with paintings.
