45cbm: Martin Wühler

synthetic media or an object that never existed is the title of artist Martin Wühler's solo exhibition in the studio space 45cbm, for which he has created an expansive installation that will take up the entire 45 cubic meters of the exhibition space.

Doubts about reality and the challenges and possibilities of the digital and virtual are at the heart of Wühler's artistic work. He often combines organic and synthetic materials and applications, creating new types of objects and sculptures with the help of a 3D printer: ideal and reality are collaged together to create something completely new. Wühler's artistic approach is modeled on certain strategies that we will continue to encounter and engage with in our daily lives as media consumers in the new decade.

Wühler himself has formulated which supposed themes will be at stake:

"content aware fill I astroturfing I gan I dark pr I face swap I image phylogeny I digital forensics I mutual information I dissimilarity calculation I information sphere I disinformation campaign I adversarial training I discriminator I nonsensical pattern I is trying to fool the latter and the latter is trying to avoid being fooled I deep fake I semantically similar I mutual information I kinship relations I specially crafted structures of interconnected layers I blended future I semi-supervised I autonomous agents I strategic affairs I malicious use I random noise I compressed representation I thispersondoesnotexist:”
