We Made It Week #8 Artist: Karin Kuhlmann


Karin Kuhlman, born in 1948 lives and works in Verl, Germany. She studied photography and graphic design and has been a commercial artist for many of years.  Kuhlmann's said abstract art is one of the glories of algorithmatic art.

Karin Kuhlmann writes, "Since beginning to use the computer as a personal artistic tool in 1996 she tended more and more towards abstraction. Like the surrealists and some abstractionists Karin prefer to utilize 'Automatism' for her creative processes in order to release my inner pictures. She usually generate a series of inspiring and associative shapes on transparent layers and combine them to form subtle arrangements of glowing transparent areas of colors, including the light behind it. She stated that drawing by algorithm depends widely on coincidence. However, generating and selecting of dynamic organic forms, their editing and coloring, is based on what psychologists refer to as 'subjective perception'. Mathematical art is - although it seems to be a contradiction in terms - a very intuitive and individual kind of work."
