Anne Spalter

🖥️ @annespalter ’s digital work carries a painter’s eye into technological landscapes. Places that feel both familiar and slightly impossible. She once described working with digital video as feeling more like painting than working with oils, with composition and colour remaining central. From her digital work in the early 1990s to later experiments with AI, her fascination with the modern landscape has remained a connecting thread. Across her practice, highways and technological structures sit alongside science fiction imagery, surreal desert forms, and mythic animals: worlds where nature and technology seem to merge. It’s digital art that still thinks in the language of landscape painting, just with more portals.

Next on Hack The Minds is @annespalter. Anne Spalter has spent decades at the intersection of art, mathematics, technology, and education. From early computer art to generative systems and AI, she has watched the tools change completely while many of the questions remain the same. What makes something art? Where does the artist end and the machine begin? And what happens when everyone can create? This Wednesday the 16th at 5pm CET / 11am EST xitter.twitterapi.xyz/i/broadcasts/1NxaroqNE…
