Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a contemporary dining booth installation, featuring a circular seating arrangement with plush, red velvet upholstery. The overall composition is striking, with the vibrant red hue contrasting against the neutral white walls. The curved, semicircular design creates a sense of enclosure and intimacy within the space. The choice of materials, including the use of velvet and metal, suggests a vintage aesthetic blended with modern sensibilities. The artwork appears to be a commentary on the dining experience, potentially exploring themes of community, socialization, and the evolving nature of shared spaces in contemporary society. ...

Artist

Ben Schumacher

Canadian

Exploring the relationship between the digital and physical realms and the flow of information in the Internet age, Ben Schumacher creates strange, uncanny installations composed of juxtapositions and dissonances. The artist’s multimedia settings feature IKEA furniture, energy drinks, 3D printers, sketches, cheeses, pool tables, restaurant replicas, and absurdist sculptures.

By connecting objects that do not go together or placing familiar artefacts into unfamiliar constellations, his installations delicately translate statistics and diagrams into unexpected physicalities. From undersea telecommunication infrastructure to cheese production to office architecture and cybernetics, Schumacher tackles contemporary concerns by revealing disconnections inherent in today’s connected world.
