BA Thesis Projekt 2026:
ROBIN SCHNEIDER
MAS – Material as Subject
Material as Subject (MAS) asked what conditions are required for photorealism. Through inspection of three photorealistic technologies – digital photography, 3D rendering and AI image generation – MAS explores the impact of image media on image perception. The resulting installation creates an environment that should spark curiosity in the eye, allowing an observer to dissect the images on display. This is achieved through visual irritations in the subjects and the display technology.
The resulting work is an invitation to the eyes, aimed at familiarising a viewer with the complexity of visual perception and its hidden layers of information.
