As a conceptual artist coming from Germany, Konstantin Weber has been consistently intrigued by the intersection of technology and art. His creative journey began with a deep exploration of photography, which subsequently led him to discover a passion for the intricacies and potential of modern technical objects, such as PCs and other electronic components.
In 2019, a pivotal moment in Weber's artistic practice occurred as he ventured into the realm of artificial intelligence. By utilizing an image-based machine learning program, he successfully imitated his own photographic style, effectively creating an AI-driven extension of his artistic persona. This breakthrough marked a significant transition in his work, inspiring him to leave behind traditional photography and fully embrace the boundless possibilities of technology-driven art.
Weber's current body of work revolves around PC-Objects that seemingly come to life, interacting with and influencing the lives of both the artist and others. These pieces challenge viewers' perceptions of reality by exploring themes of control, autonomy, and the blurred lines between human and machine. At times, his technological creations serve as friendly companions, while on other occasions, they manifest darker, more unpredictable qualities.Through the creation of these living, breathing PC-Objects, Weber seeks to raise questions about our evolving relationship with technology and its role in shaping our existence.
His work stands as a testament to the power of innovation and the ever-changing landscape of artistic expression in a world where the line between human and machine is increasingly indistinguishable.As an artist, Weber is committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible and invites his audience to join him on this journey of discovery. Together, they will navigate the complex and fascinating world of technology-infused art, broadening their horizons and deepening their understanding of the intricate relationship between the digital and the analog.
