remoteness, insularity, difficult topography consists of a GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks), a website and a series of silkscreen prints. A data set was created from landscape photographs of travel destinations that were most frequently searched for in #stayathome spring 2020 when the home office became the new normal for many office workers. The model to a certain extent has learned to create images of longing. As non-nature, however, the ultimate disappointment remains inherent in the synthetic image. On a website visitors can generate their individual landscape background. Some of the potentially infinite landscapes are silkscreen printed in postcard size. One print from the series appears in the installation Mediterranes Haus mit Meer im Hintergrund.
