Achim Mohné
Achim Mohné studied photography at the Folkwang University of the Arts and completed his postgraduate studies in 1997 at the KHM Cologne. He works across expanded photography, time-based media, public intervention, internet-based practices, sound and AI. In his current projects, he parasitically occupies commercial image distribution systems such as Google Earth, whose satellite cameras are misappropriated as transmitters of artistic messages. Since 2013, he has been a lecturer in photography and new media at the ETH Zürich, CH, where he was responsible for the field of 3D modeling / 3D printing). Since 2021, he has held a professorship in transmedia publishing and documentary photography at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Dortmund.

Versuchsreihe zur Auslotung ästhetischer Möglichkeiten K.I.-generierender Mittel in bildgebenden Verfahren anhand von „Rotkäppchen“
As early as the 1980s, Vilém Flusser described the transition from writing culture to image culture, in which technological images displace texts. This prediction is coming true today, as images disguised as data packets are decisively shaping our actions. They increasingly originate from AI-based image generators that translate language into synthetic images in highly complex, latent spaces, thus re-ordering the relationship between text and image. The artistic experiment titled Rotkäppchen (Little Red Riding Hood) was created by “feeding” AI with original prose sequences of the Grimm Brothers and editing the resulting sequences into a film. The project sheds light on the machine-based translation of language into pictures, and understands itself as critically distanced “art about AI” that, in the sense of Flusser, addresses the functioning and power logics of the apparatuses.
