Anton Ginzburg: Altered Space
Curated by Dianne Beal
June 08 - September 07, 2024
Abstract compositions born from technological and artistic research form the core of Anton Ginzburg’s practice. The artist uses mathematical algorithms - whether taken from sentiment analysis and data mining of iconic film scripts, trajectories of time and place, tessellation, 3D gaming engines for self-driving vehicles, or experiential qualities of a city or landscape - to create structure and technique. Altered Space, presented at Fundación Pablo Atchugarry, surveys a slice of Ginzburg’s recent body of work as it merges technology and geometric abstraction.
The resulting artworks capture the real and poetic spaces found in landscape, architecture or cityscape, as well as the experiential qualities of the various environments. Ginzburg’s Altered Space presents an inspiring discussion of the use of artificial intelligence in artistic dialogue with time and place.
