Luise Steuckart creates virtually living sculptures in a realtime 3D environment. By questioning the concept of movement, Steuckart wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images and appear as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, space and time bend.

Toys’ Opera is a performable kinetic sculpture of video, audio, and serially-controlled HO trains, models, and miniature cameras. It organizes procedural and algorithmic composition into phrases and gestures spanning and integrating the media. Continue reading
