Everyone works with "prompting", an input of text, to create artificial images with the current tools of generative AI such as Midjourney or DALL-E 2.

Johannes Franzen chooses a contrary approach: He goes one level deeper, directly in the program code. Potentially, all images of the underlying AI can be created in this way. The AI "Stable Diffusion", trained on billions of images from the network, is his software of choice. And the result of this process? The “amalgamation of the entire visual world of our culture”, the idea of the Brooklyn-based photographer and artist Charlie Egmann on AI-generated images sums it up exactly.

In the exhibition “Alles +”, Lisa Ingrid Nürnberger shows six sculptural works consisting of firewood, lacquer, plastic and paper entitled “House 1” to “House 6”. The question of the location, the manner and a possible absoluteness of the artist's own ideal or real point of view is addressed, which is only formulated in a feeling when looking at the open, sculptural appearances on the floor of the exhibition rooms.

Paired with the visual power of the AI-generated work by Johannes Franzen, works of art are presented on three floors in the rear building, which at first glance could not be more different and yet have a strong attraction to one another. The works of the two artists vary in rhythm and form across the floors.
