LAND, which debuted at the 2008 Liverpool Biennial (UK), continues the German artist’s exploration into sensory immersive environments, at the core of his recent artistic research into the nature of digital illusion. His work is characterised by pure, large scope spaces devoid of objects or gestures yet dense with matter.

LAND is a digital landscape rendered solely out of two algorithms that create pure noise; the work has no conceptual agenda, but it is intended to have hallucinatory effects. Through its sheer immensity and use of pulsing repetition it induces a changed state of consciousness, or, as the artist puts it, "an altered state of reality".
