In an advanced research process, Johannes Holt Iversen concretizes his work around the organic and the inorganic, from which the starting point is the depictions that were found in the southern French Lascaux caves, which, among other things, show a starting point for human self-representation being set against a future-inspired technology, such as his choice of materials.

Being limited by available physical materials Johannes Holt Iversen had to go in another direction for further his studies on the path that the ‘Beta’-series had started. With the limits of the physical world Holt Iversen started to go digital, working in collaboration with AI to figure out – ‘the next step’. Conceptualizing, sketching, and understanding the language of these machines was the focus – working together to create the next step within his art practice that had previously been physical sculptural objects and paintings.

‘The Skinwalker IO Study-Series’ is the result of this experimentation process.
