Torben Giehler, Tronic Shift, 2022

Mit meinen Arbeiten versuche ich unsere immer komplexer werdende, aber auch spannende digitale Welt zu verstehen und zu verarbeiten. Mich interessiert, wie wir uns zwischen realer und virtueller Welt bewegen.

TRONIC SHIFT basiert auf einer veränderten Vektorstadtkarten von Berlin. Diese pro­ji­zie­re ich als Bleistiftskizze auf die Leinwand. Danach baut sich das Bild durch vielschichtige Acrylschichten auf und wird immer abstrakter.
