Abstract

Viktoria Binschtok’s Networked Images deals with the ever-increasing saturation of our digital world. The artist selects images from her photo-archives and feeds them into an internet search tool which presents visually similar images found within the World Wide Web. By pairing images through this algorithmic process, content is sidelined in favour of form, colour and style to create a harmonious aesthetic, albeit an often conceptually jarring one as a result of the new, incongruent associations. The series of photographic sculptures consist of clusters of these juxtaposed images, echoing the processes of circulation and abstraction that images today continuously undergo.Viktoria Binschtok was born in Moscow and studied Art Photography and Media Art at the Academy of Visual Arts, Leipzig. Her works have been presented in exhibitions both in Germany and abroad, including Centre Pompidou, Kunstverein Göttingen, Museum Folkwang Essen, Kunsthalle im Lipsiusbau Dresden, Pier 24 San Francisco, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Arts Santa Monica Barcelona, Frankfurter Kunstverein and Les Rencontres d’Arles. Viktoria has published several monographs and has works in many public collections, including the Centre Georges Pompidou. Viktoria lives and works in Berlin.
