In autumn 2023, the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen is planning the first monographic museum exhibition of work by Katja Novitskova (*1984 in Tallinn, Estonia, lives and works in Amsterdam) in Germany.
Novitskova deals with digital images of nature, their influence on human perception, and the possibilities of visual cognition with imaging techniques. She investigates digital data systems and their potential use in a scientific, artistic and philosophical sense. Her work is based on ongoing studies of current research in biotechnology and revolves around the question of the organic’s future persistence as a component of technological processes. In this context, Novitskova is also concerned with ecological questions and man’s interrelations with the animal world, with micro- and macro-organisms. Her exhibitions resemble virtuoso, multi-part environments consisting of sculptural elements, mural paintings and projections.
