Jennifer Steinkamp: Digital Nature – Video Art Exhibition at Espacio Fundación Telefónica

This exhibition showcases five video installations by American artist Jennifer Steinkamp, a pioneer in digital animation. The works transform architectural spaces with digital animations inspired by nature, creating immersive environments.

Espacio Fundación Telefónica presents 'Jennifer Steinkamp. Digital Nature,' featuring five significant video installations by the American artist. Steinkamp, a pioneer in digital animation since the late 1980s, uses this technique to create artificial 3D universes filled with digital flora that sway in the wind, fundamentally altering architectural spaces and spectator perceptions. The exhibition delves into Steinkamp's exploration of perception, movement, and space, with a focus on plant imagery that became prominent in her work around 2002. Featured works include 'Marie Curie' (2011), a tribute to the scientist with over forty types of flowers reflecting on atomic energy's effects on nature, and 'Dervish' (2004), inspired by the hypnotic movements of the Islamic Mevlevi Order, created using digital tree branches. The exhibition also highlights Steinkamp's history of public art and collaborations, including projections on buildings and her work for U2's world tours. Alongside the exhibition, a series of workshops for all ages are offered, exploring video art, emotional botany, and filmmaking.
