kelpies in situ [2019-2020]
“KELPIES IN SITU”
as in “caspecies in situ” this series of work tackles the area of conflict between nature and synthetically-generated life. This research is developing a visual language, which combines the synthetical with the evolved. Algorithms and Photography form an image.
Wie bei “caspecies in situ” nimmt diese Arbeitsreihe, das Spannungsfeld und die Überlappung zwischen Natur und synthetisch generiertem Leben in Angriff. Diese Erforschungen entwickeln eine Bildsprache, die das Synthetische mit Gewachsenem zusammenbringt. Algorithmen und Fotografie finden zu einem Bild.

The name kelpie dates back to the 17th century in Scottish folklore, serving as a water spirit. I borrowed the name for my art forms (mind creatures): a symbiosis of plant, animal and human being, kelpies evolve as a manifestation of observation, thought and phantasy. While abstract in detail, they are organic as a whole. Kelpies look strange, but somehow, they are familiar. What are they doing here, what do they want, why do they exist? ------- © Georg Mühleck - VG Bild-Kunst; mail@georgmuehleck.com; www.georgmuehleck.com; info@bildkunst.de; www.bildkunst.de
