Interview with Claudia Larcher
“You can counter the grand narratives by looking just a little bit off to the side.”
Claudia Larcher has been a professor of post-digital art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna since early October. In her artistic practice, she combines photography, film, installation, and digital image production. She explores the materiality of the digital, artificial intelligence, archives, and the political conditions of technological systems. In this interview, she explains why “postdigital” does not mean the end of the digital for her, why errors and gaps in data systems are interesting, and why artists should not ignore AI.
