AuroraGen presents in her impressive series MEMORY FALSIFICATION presents the fleetingness and malleability of our memories through stunning, AI-generated photorealistic portraits of women. These are enhanced by the vibrant use of acrylic and neon colors that glow under black light. The visual representation of the fusion of reality and fiction raises questions about the reliability of memories and encourages reflection on perceptions of the past.

Ulrike Grimm, known for her interdisciplinary approaches, presents in her series LIGHT-IMAGE-INSTALLATIONS series, Ulrike Grimm presents exciting interfaces between AI, archetypal structures and quantum physics.
Through her multi-layered, colorful SPACE-RENAISSANCE COMPOSITIONS she invites us to experience the connection between scientific thinking and spiritual perspectives in a new way. She combines new views of the universe with figures from historical paintings.

IMAGINARE LUX! not only opens up new perspectives on the relationship between art and technology, but also challenges our understanding of memory and perception. The exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in artistic exploration at the frontier of new technologies.

We cordially invite art and technology enthusiasts as well as those interested in philosophy to visit this unique exhibition and be inspired by the profound themes and beauty of the works.
