Susanne Klein’s work explores how to transform old printing methods into 21st century technology, populating it with new image content but keeping the look and the feel of the past.
When she uses photomechanical methods or when she looks at etching or woodcut, she will employ the latest technical innovation to make platemaking faster, safer, and environmentally more friendly and, at the same time, recreate the look of the original method.
The 3 prints are part of the ‘Goddess’ series, which explores the non-human nature of gods by creating the imagery with artificial intelligence. They are the result of a ‘fight against the machine’. Since artificial intelligence is mostly used to generate either photorealistic images or images which fall under ‘gaming’ aesthetics, it is not trivial to push the software into a different direction and to create figures which are not human and not obviously female but invite the brain to interpret them as female. All prints are relief prints and pulled by hand.
Susanne Klein’s work can be seen in the annual printmaking exhibitions at UWE Bristol. It was also part of ‘TRANSMEDIAL: Expanding Technologies in Contemporary Printmaking’ organized by the Print Council of Australia.
