Using the generic possibilities of 3D-animation, Matthias Danberg creates his own new worlds on the computer, worlds in which order is determined by the familiar and the strange. At the same time they refer to futuristic science-fiction visions and aesthetics long gone. The virtual scenarios are dominated by seemingly organic machines, complex architectures and constant processes of transformation.
“Like Copernicus banning humanity from the center of the universe, virtuality is banning humanity from ‘its’ world” states Danberg and asks what authenticity means in our virtual and real worlds.
