This examination is build upon an existing body of work that combines photography and video games. The works features play with the different levels of image-making through moving image, sculpture, analog photography and machine learning algorithms. Each of the works attempts to transpose the flatness of computer simulations into three dimensional art objects and the physical architecture of the gallery space.<br \/>\nA main feature in the latest issue EIKON #115 is dedicated to the artist.<\/p>\n<p>Vernissage 02.09.2021 | 19:00 | EIKON Showroom MuseumsQuartier Wien[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-203623&#8243; type=&#8221;carousel&#8221; medias=&#8221;177417,177418,177419,177420,177421,177422,177423&#8243; gallery_back_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; carousel_lg=&#8221;3&#8243; carousel_md=&#8221;3&#8243; carousel_sm=&#8221;1&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,caption&#8221; carousel_interval=&#8221;3000&#8243; carousel_navspeed=&#8221;400&#8243; carousel_loop=&#8221;yes&#8221; stage_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; single_text=&#8221;under&#8221; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; single_overlay_visible=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_overlay_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_text_visible=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_text_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_image_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_v_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; single_text_reduced=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_meta_custom_typo=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_meta_weight=&#8221;300&#8243; single_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;179118&#8243; gallery_back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;187838&#8243; el_class=&#8221;maxpx1400displaynone&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;176000&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his new solo exhibition at the EIKON Schauraum, Alan Butler explores the materiality of digital objects from simulated worlds through modes of traditional photography and lens based media.
