Florian Schönestedt

“A director of short animated films, Florian Schönerstedt soon moved into the field of research, particularly in Artificial Intelligence. His work evolved significantly, but, for him, it never lost sight of what we might call a fundamental, substantial relationship to reality—his reality. [...] The artist, if he is a transformer, is also transformed by contact with a world that is constantly evolving, whose mutations, in turn, condition the evolution of the artwork. Florian Schönerstedt—a transformer himself transformed." Paul Ardenne
