About the exhibition:
Novitskova’s concern is with digital images of nature and their influence on the way we perceive the world. She explores imaging techniques and their use in art, science and society. Her work is based on ongoing investigation of current research in biotechnology and revolves around the question of the future continuity of the organic as a component of technological processes. In this context, Novitskova is also interested in environmental issues and the extension of human technological possibilities to the micro and macro levels of our planet. In current works, she has extended her artistic enquiry to include the influence of digital data systems and artificial intelligence (AI) on our visual and spatial experience.
Playfully exploring different concepts of artificial intelligence, she creates works that oscillate between human and machine, physical and digital worlds and looks for areas where human-beings, machines and the environment intersect. Her exhibitions are complex environments consisting of sculptural elements, murals, material images and projections.
