Planet B Exhibition by UNA NAU, Markus Mrugalla
NEWS — 17.06.22
Markus Mrugalla is a man of intermediate worlds. His work lies at the interface of art, technology and design. The overlapping of reality and fiction, of the digital and analog worlds are his themes.
On the one hand, there is the “Untitled” group, with some large-format motifs in 3D aesthetics, which are produced as videos, NFTs or using a UV-resistant printing process on photographic paper or aluminum. Each series of motifs is based on a basic body, a kind of planet, which is digitally depicted in three dimensions. In the further process, Mrugalla visualizes sections of this body. Algorithms and computing power are used to create a basically infinite interplay of contrasts, colors and movements - random and arbitrary - which can be used to produce countless representations and images. Mrugalla selects the most exciting and surprising ones. But which ones are they? When is enough enough and when is a motif complete? Artists and viewers alike are thrown back on fundamental questions of perception.
