Grasshopper in art: A new way of approaching classic norms of making
October 11, 2023, at 16:00 (CEST)
In this Webinar, Ekkehard Altenburger will show his wide-ranging approach to using Grasshopper as an artist.
His work explores both the high- and low-end of parametric design, ranging from developing drafts for its later use in a traditional lacquer studio in Hanoi to his current approach at the Academy of Visual Arts in Hong Kong, where he uses Grasshopper as the main programming software to program a range of large and small robots in a digital fabrication studio.
Ekkehard Altenburger is a German artist based in Hong Kong since 2017. He completed his initial training as a master mason in Germany before pursuing higher education in Bremen, Edinburgh, and London, where he was based for two decades. Altenburger’s work is heavily influenced by architecture, which initially led him to London for post-graduate studies and to set up his studio.
In 2001, he interviewed the legendary 94-year-old Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer in his office in Copacabana, which left a lasting impression on him. Many of his works are in public and private collections as well as in the public domain, including site-specific sculptural works and large-scale urban placemaking projects throughout mainland Europe, the UK, and Central America.
