Real, digital, universal: Miguel Chevalier’s inspiring virtual and digital art.

Miguel Chevalier (b. 1959) is one of the pioneers of virtual and digital art. For his multifaceted work, he uses the latest technologies, including the newest developments in artificial intelligence (AI), while always keeping up a dialogue with art and cultural history.

Since the 1980s, the artist has been exploring the possibilities of the computer as a creative means of expression. This richly illustrated volume presents his sculptures and drawings, which he produced by using 3D printing and robotics, videos, and expansive installations. The book is dedicated to the relationship between the digital and analog worlds, astonishing connections between nature and technology, as well as human intervention in the environment.

Roger Diederen has been the director of the Kunsthalle München since 2013. Franziska Stöhr has been a curator at Kunsthalle München since 2020.
