Das Kunstwerk Der Zukunft

DAS KUNSTWERK DER ZUKUNFT

As Man stands to Nature, so stands Art to Man.
- Richard Wagner

Rudolph reflects on the current technological conditions set out by mankind for the existence and experience of art. As such, painting in VR - on the edge of presence and absence - is one of the core dichotomies of Rudolph’s work. The artist began using this medium as an exploration of the threshold between different realities, asking himself how one can create something that can be both present as well as absent at the same time. Painting in VR - and using AR to access these paintings - allows just that.


Unloath the wrath
Burden of this feast
Tripping over the path
West to east.

Without the weight
I stumble and mumble:
"All beauty must fade"
As continents rumble.
