LASZLO DHONANYI
AUDIO RECORDING OF TEXT
Laszlo von Dohnanyi’s work explores the reciprocal influence between the digital aesthetics of CGI, Computer-Generated Imagery and the haptic physical properties of painting. By mixing references to an older pictorial tradition with those of cutting- edge 3D digital-modelling tools, the paintings oscillate at the intersection between digital and analogue image creation. Both the works in this exhibition explore concepts of biomimicry as well as ideas of alienation and fragmentation as a by-product of technological advancement. Exploring ideas of artificial construction and natural growth, the works focus on artificial rebuilds of natural systems such as the Nest or the ‘flocking’ like arrangement of individual leaves which is based on the artificial life program called ‘boids’, which mimic the flocking behaviour of birds (murmuration).
