Diving into a new project about the transformation of spaces by digital means – under the working title "Deconstructing California Modern" I use iconic photographs of Mid-Century-Modernism buildings as a basis for AI prompts. Surprised how classical forms sneak back into it.

Friendly review on my part of our show Resonanzräume (Resonant Spaces) at Kunstverein Wiesbaden by Christoph Schütte at Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) ...
Dezember 2023
In October, the exhibition of our research group Resonant Spaces opened at the Kunstverein Wiesbaden and a catalog was published on the occasion. My contribution included a conversation I had with the media archaeologist Siegfried Zielinski (and Chat-GPT) about my video installation Dendriten (Dendrites). The text was re-edited and translated to English for the journal Technology and Language. (And can be found here).
October 2023
Artist Talk at Mein Schatz (My Precious) Werkleitz Media Art Festival with Agnieszka Polska and Anne-Christin Bielig about the co-relations between our video-installations, dealing with mining and data-mining on different levels.
June 2023
The Graduate School of Moving Image at Art School Kassel that I was part of from 2020 up until now came to an end with a final exhibition. I showed the first version of my film "inside or outside (shells)". Glad to see connecting lines to the work of my GBB-fellows – mostly on digital spaces and its implications.

Happy to be part of “Autobahn” – the first physical issue of Jugend ohne Film that was presented at Viennale this year. Ronny Günl talked to me about film- and road connections in the western directions (Aus westlichen Richtungen, 2016) and the highway sound in “Land Before Time” (2021). Many thanks also to Patrick Holzapfel. A digital version can be found here.

The first step on the way to a new work on the themes of mining and data mining has been installed at this year’s (2022) Werkleitz Festival (titled: Mehr oder Weniger /More or Less). Let’s quote the festival’s website here, Google translate might help ?:
"Auf Exkursionen, die Juliane Henrich ins Mansfeld unternahm, weckten die Schlackehalden ihr Interesse. Dabei stellte sich die Frage: Ist Schlacke als Rückstand der Kupferverhüttung vergleichbar mit den zunächst “nutzlosen” Daten, die beim Surfen im Netz auf Servern hinterlassen werden? Daten und Schlacke haben ihren Wert, sie werden gehandelt – wenn nicht jetzt, dann in einer nicht bestimmbaren Zukunft. Das Nachdenken über die Anhäufung digitaler Daten sowie über Kupfer als Rohstoff der Verkabelung führt in die private Kammer eines fiktiven Users, der von Daten beeinflusst ist und zugleich neue Spuren zur Verwertung produziert. Unter dem Arbeitstitel Welt als Draht untersucht Juliane Henrich, welche Analogien neben der von “Bergbau und Data Mining” bestehen könnten. Dabei spekuliert sie über Zusammenhänge und Verknüpfungen, die sich durch das Netz verbreiten – von revolutionären Ideen bis hin zu menschenverachtenden Verschwörungstheorien.
Ihre Arbeit wird begleitet von Klängen des Musikers Konstantin Schimanowski."

The work on my film Vor Zeit (Time Before Land / Przedczas) finally found an ending – and even one I am happy about! The world premiere took place in October 2021 at DOK Leipzig at the German Competition. After that it travelled to Dokfest Kassel and to the Arsenal for its Berlin Premiere. Let's see where the journey goes from there. Thank you and dziękuję everybody!

Shots from my installation at Kasseler Kunstverein in July 2021 – a QR code located inside the tent takes you to the video inside or outside (shells). The film can be watched on a smartphone while lying in the tent. The work raises questions about the intertwining of inside and outside space, accelerated by the pandemic – as well as the question of who gets to be inside and who must stay out. The exhibition by Kunsthochschule Kassel’s Graduate School for Moving Image (GBB), features several works that explore the intersection of physical and digital space. Its title, “Latenzen” (Latencies), refers to the phenomenon in which an event has already taken place, but its impact cannot be perceived until much later. It’s also a reference to the digital latencies we’ve been exposed to lately in the video calls that have served as the main channel of communication for the graduate school.

Talking with Ruth Toma about our films of the West, which were streamed on Haus-Kino, a platform hosted by the Goethe Institute of Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina this summer.

Happy to hear From the West’s Tagesschau-tunes come back to live in these Emissions From The Other Side #29, with a track composed by Manuela Schininá for my film five years ago.
Since early 2021, I’ve been part of a group of research fellows in an academy called EXERCISING MODERNITY (It’s the We are/we were the future edition ...)
I’ve started research for a new project set in Israel and western Germany with the working title HAIGA. I’ve very much enjoyed learning about research endeavors between Poland, Israel, and Germany and listening to lectures on lines of thought in modern architecture and beyond by Ines Weizmann, David Crowley, and many others …

It almost sounds real... imitating dinosaur dig sounds with Jochen Jezussek and ghostly grading with Till Beckmann for my new feature, Time Before Land.

In December 2020, the Stadtschloss replica, a.k.a. Humboldt Forum, had its “online opening.” I made this poster for the Coalition of Cultural Workers against the Humboldt Forum (CCWAH) – a group that won’t participate.
