SOLO AI '23 WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT
28th February 2023
We're happy to finally announce that the winner of the SOLO AI '23 AWARDS is Lars Nagler (TW @larsnagler).
Lars Nagler will receive 10.000€ and will be also taking part in the collective exhibition "Protection No Longer Assured" that will be taking place in Espacio SOLO during 2023.
Born in East Germany, the first professional paths that he chose did not have much to do with art — he was a cook and a theatre stage decorator. Then, he studied photography at the Bauhaus Weimar and, since 2007, he's a freelance artist, designer, creator of music videos, exhibitions, and commissioned works. At the beginning of 2021, he started experimenting with AI tools, and also entered the NFT ecosystem. One of his main interest os the man and his motives, his being, his doing, and his thinking. His endless curiosity and knowledge of life allows him to dive into topics of interest in a completely new and different way using AI.
Lars emphasizes the importance of human-machine collaboration and its intrinsic contingency: "Each AI tool comes with its own character".
"I think that unique AI art comes best from a wealth of experience in seeing/hearing/thinking".
Inspiration for his art comes from renowned artists and filmmakers like Edgar Reitz, Alexander Kluge, August Sander, Ansel Adams, Werner Herzog, and Ingmar Bergman.
"The Dreams of FeFe / Night 1 - 4" takes inspiration from the italian film director Federico Fellini.
