In her multidisciplinary work Ivonne Thein (born 1979 in Meiningen lives and works in Berlin)
addresses the current body images of a digital culture that is undergoing fundamental change
due to extensive technologization. Today new technologies are profoundly shaping both the
physical body and its virtual representations in the visual culture of our time. Thein works
with AI systems for her installations and places the question of the problem of imitating
nature and thus the relationship between art technology and body at the center of her
artistic work. To do this she combines digital techniques with sculptures that she creates by
hand from silicone. Thein thereby evokes an intrusive closeness in the exhibition space as the
images generated with the AI no longer remain just a pure data set on the screen. The book
presents works from 2020-2023.
