Antonia Hirsch is a visual artist who has worked in several different media, such as objects and sculptures, installations, as well as lens-based works and performances. She often uses the raw materials of everyday technological devices and combines them with the abstracted forms of digital image and communication technology. In addition to her artwork, Hirsch has published anthologies on subjects that she is also addressing in her art, for example Negative Space. Orbiting inner and outer experience (2015) and Intangible Economies (2012).
Over the past years, her interest has focused on the affective qualities of the screens and mobile devices that surround us everywhere today. The almost auratic quality of these devices suggests a kinship with the object categories of the artwork and the talisman (Hirsch). In the workshop, she will present her artistic practice and make a connection to the School of Design through her recent interests in screens, materials and design practices of packaging, Kansei engineering and traditional Japanese crafts.
