Essay zu Herbar Digital<\/p>\n

geschrieben von\u00a0Yan Han,\u00a0M\u00fcnchen, 7. August 2017<\/p>\n

\u201ethe universe is represented in every one of its particles. Every thing in nature contains all the powers of nature. (\u2026) The World globes itself in a drop of dew\u201c\u00a0<\/em>Ralph Waldo Emerson, Compensation<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Barbara Herold und Florian Huths j\u00fcngstem Werk Herbar Digital sind Bl\u00e4tter der Mikrokosmos des Universums. Gezackte Linien, kr\u00e4ftige Kurven, lebendige Kreise, dichte Netze: All diese simplen geometrischen Formen stellen die Pflanzen dar. Damit weisen sie nicht nur auf unsere Umgebung hin, sondern stehen vielmehr Modell f\u00fcr sie. Geht man noch einen Schritt weiter, ist die von uns erlebte Natur ein Mikrokosmos des Alls.<\/p>\n

Auff\u00e4llig ist, dass sich Herbar Digital<\/em><\/a> mit Aristoteles\u2019 Beschaffenheit der Natur befasst, n\u00e4mlich Stoff und Form. Zum einem sind Bl\u00e4tter und Bl\u00fcte der physische Stoff der Natur (dies bezieht sich auf die K\u00f6rperlichkeit der Natur) und zum anderen sind die vom Computer generierten Parameter, die als Bausteine des Werkes fungieren, als visueller Stoff der Natur zu betrachten. Aristoteles zufolge ist die erreichte Form also das nat\u00fcrliche Wesen. Das Grundschema aller Pflanzen in Herbar Digital l\u00e4sst sich als Konstruktion der Natur erfassen. In diesem Fall sind es die Stofflichkeit einerseits und die Gestalt andererseits, in deren Zusammensetzung die vollst\u00e4ndige Natur besteht.<\/p>\n

Wie also interpretiert man die Natur in der visuellen Welt? Diese Frage nimmt eine entscheidende Position in Barbaras k\u00fcnstlerischem Schaffen ein. In Void<\/em> <\/a>repr\u00e4sentiert die ideale idyllische Landschaft die Natur, w\u00e4hrend in Herbar Digital<\/em> das Herbarium die Natur nachvollzieht. Obwohl der nat\u00fcrliche Repr\u00e4sentant unterschiedlich ist, bleibt die Interpretation dieselbe, n\u00e4mlich eine Simulation. Auf dieser Ebene k\u00f6nnen die vom Computer generierten Naturmotive als von Gerhard Schulze erw\u00e4hnte spielerische Kulissen angesehen werden, die die Wirklichkeit nicht verschleiern, sondern herstellen.<\/p>\n

Nat\u00fcrlich sind diese Kulissen als Inszenierung an die von Menschen erlebte kulturelle Umgebung gebunden. Das von Carl von Linn\u00e9 entwickelte System von Pflanzen wird als eine k\u00fcnstliche Klassifizierung betrachtet, in der sich die menschliche Sozialpraxis durch Pflanzenidentifikation auspr\u00e4gt. In Herbar Digital<\/em> entstehen 40 Herbarbelege aus einem Archiv von 800 gesammelten 3D-Modellen von Pflanzen. Diese subjektive Wahl und das dazu erzeugte Pseudo-Ordnungssystem deuten auf ein menschliches Vorgehen hin; und zwar reflektiert diese k\u00fcnstlerische Intervention die \u00dcberschneidung zwischen realen und virtuellen Erlebnissen unseres digitalen Zeitalters. In diesem Fall sind die spielerischen Kulissen die Inszenierung der Gegenwart.<\/p>\n

Die digitale Welt ist wie ein Spiegelraum, in dem wir denken, die ganze Welt zu sehen. In der Tat sehen wir jedoch lediglich uns selbst. In Herbar Digital beh\u00e4lt jedes Exemplar den Zugang zur digitalen Quelle: Wer hat jenes pflanzliche 3D-Modell entworfen und wie ist sein farbiges Schema u. \u00c4. Die user-generierte Gestalt von Pflanzen hinterl\u00e4sst ebenso eine starke pers\u00f6nliche Spur. Die Individualit\u00e4t des Menschen ist als wiederkehrender Gedanke in Barbara Herolds Werken zu finden. In Aura Sell-Out<\/a><\/em> schl\u00e4gt sich die Pers\u00f6nlichkeit in den individuellen Gesten der User nieder, w\u00e4hrend in Metric Ballet<\/em><\/a> der Charakter der T\u00e4nzer durch die Improvisation auf begrenztem Raum erkennbar ist. Die digitalen Herbarbelege dienen hier als ein Durchgang, durch den die Vielf\u00e4ltigkeit der Menschen und der Natur deutlich wird.<\/p>\n

Es ist kein Zufall, dass sich Herbar Digital endg\u00fcltig als eine druckgraphische (lithographische) Serie pr\u00e4sentiert. Dies kann auf Maria Sibylla Merians zwischen 1675 und 1680 erschienenes Neues Blumenbuch<\/em> zur\u00fcckgehen. Das druckgraphische Verfahren fokussiert auf die Form und Fl\u00e4che von Pflanzen und lenkt unseren Blick auf die Interaktion zwischen Beobachtung, Gestaltung und ihrem Zweck. Die Besonderheit besteht darin, dass die verstreute leichte Farbigkeit in manchen Unikaten an Merians Kolorierung erinnert. Diese k\u00fcnstlerische Umsetzung verleiht den Pflanzen Lebendigkeit und Grazie.
\nAuf den Punkt gebracht: Herbar Digital<\/em> wird zu einem Ort, an dem Herold und Huth ihre Intention zeigen \u2014 Eintausend Laub wirkt als ein Beh\u00e4ltnis unseres Wissens und eine Sammlung der Ged\u00e4chtnisse unserer Zeit.<\/p>\n

Essay for Herbar Digital<\/i><\/p>\n

“The universe is represented in every one of its particles. Everything in nature contains all the powers of nature\u2026The world globes itself in a drop of dew.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Compensation<\/i><\/p>\n

In Barbara Herold & Florian Huth’s latest work Herbar Digital<\/i>,<\/a> leaves are a microcosm of the universe. Jagged lines, powerful curves, lively circles, dense nets: all these simple, geometric forms depict plants. They not only allude to our environment, but indeed serve as a model for it. Going a step further, the nature we experience is a microcosm of the universe.<\/p>\n

Herbar<\/i> Digital<\/i> deals with Aristotle’s properties of nature, i.e. matter and form. On the one hand leaves and flowers are nature’s physical material (this refers to the physicality of nature), while on the other, the computer-generated parameters functioning as the work\u2019s building blocks are to be regarded as nature’s visual material. According to Aristotle, the form attained is the natural being. The basic structure of all plants in Herbar Digital <\/i>can be understood as the construction of nature. In this case it is the combination of materiality on the one hand and the form on the other which makes up complete nature.<\/p>\n

So how is nature interpreted in the visual world? This question occupies a determining position in Barbara’s artistic work. In Void<\/i><\/a>, nature represents the idyllic landscape, while in Herbar Digital<\/i>, the herbarium replicates nature. Although the selection varies, the interpretation remains the same: a simulation. According to Gerhard Schulze, on this level computer-generated natural motifs may be seen as playful scenes not obscuring reality but instead producing it.<\/p>\n

Of course, these scenes are bound to the cultural environment of human experience. The system of plants developed by Carl von Linn\u00e9 is regarded as an artificial classification in which human social practice informs plant identification. In Herbar Digital<\/i>, 40 pieces of archival documentation emerge from 800 collected 3D models of plants. This subjective choice and the pseudo classification system created for it suggest a human approach; this artistic intervention reflects the overlap between real and virtual experiences within our digital age. Here, the playful backdrops stage the present.<\/p>\n

The digital world is like a mirror in which we think we see the whole world. Yet in fact, we only see ourselves. In Herbar Digital <\/i>each copy retains access to the digital source. Who designed the 3D model of this plant, what is its color scheme and so forth? The user-generated plants form thus leaves a strong personal trace. Humanity’s individuality is a recurring concept in Barbara Herold’s works. In Aura Sell-Out<\/i><\/a>, the personality is reflected in the user’s individual gestures, while in Metric Ballet <\/i><\/a>the dancer’s character can be recognized through improvisation within a limited space. The digital documents become a passage through which the diversity of people and nature is clear.<\/p>\n

It is no coincidence that Herbar Digital <\/i>was presented in a lithographic print series. This can be traced back to Maria Sibylla Merian’s New Flower Book\u00a0<\/i>(1675 \u2013 <\/i>1680). The printing process focused on the shape and surface of plants and directed our attention to the interaction between observation, design and its purpose. The distinctive feature is that the scattered diffuse color in some editions is reminiscent of Merian’s coloring. This artistic permutation lends the plants both liveliness and grace.\u00a0In conclusion Herbar Digital <\/i>becomes a place where Herold & Huth show their intention: One thousand Leaves<\/i> serves as a repository for our knowledge and as an archive of the memories of our time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
