About

I am born in Munich in 1980, Germany. I am Bachelor of Cognitive Science and am becoming Master in Advanced Management. Art has always been my passion. When I was young I used to paint black structurals on white varnished wood. Then I discovered Video Feedback Art for myself. A video camera is pointed at its own monitor, so that the monitor virtually shows itself. This loop causes abstract patterns in motion, which can be enhanced by mirrowing, inversion and additional interferents. In 1997 I first started with Digital Surface Art, which I am the originator of. Its a long time ago, to be sure, and I have learned a lot since, but I am still learning. That said, my style is still in development on search for a percect Surface. Contact: bsoehnel@gmx.net

Work
I dissassemble algorithmic patterns by color and fill each with new patterns. Thereby emerges a complex structural, which I superpose with artificial or natural textures and turn this into a sophisticated surface by means of distortion and exposure to light. The entire process is driven by inner voice, which leads me through. I call it Digital Surface Art! Digital Surface Art is an advancement of algorithmic art and made with a computer entirely. It is not art of chance, but art of choice. A compositon is not pre-determined, but is developed during the process. Digital Surface Art is abstract and semi-representational. That said it is self-governed and does not reproduce definite and apparitional reality, but has links to personal experiences. Medium is laserimage on aludibond, which gives the digital Surface a stunning physical nature. Each print has my signature and remains an unicum. Read More
