Hyperpainting is a direction in digital painting that ties in with the traditions of Konkrete Kunst and, for Rost Likholat and Simon Klein, is the visualized consequence of our civilisation’s increasing focus on synthetic spaces and its target fixation on the realm of digital perception. Hyperpainting is a collaborative process constituted by digital painting, 3D modelling and media specific operations.
The postdigital paintings are sourced from pure nothingness as computer generated three-dimensional shapes which are significantly displaced according to specific design rules.
The result is an interplay of chaos and geometry, hyperspace and real locations, which questions the existing ideas of territoriality and transfers contemporary digital imagery further into the medium of painting.
Hyperpainting describes a subgenre of electronic painting: pure, virtual matter displaced in postdigital, infinite space. Bodies appearing abstractly fly lightly through the newly created cosmos; characteristically pointed and chaotic. The material is reminiscent of high-quality paper: elegant, cutting, weightless and haptically fascinating.
The Hyperpaitings, whose physicality is computer-generated matter, penetrate the space in their infinite complexity, difficult to grasp. They stand for the definition of a virtual meta brand and are subject to their own design regulations and formal language, applicable to the media of print, animated art, interactive & audioreactive installations, as well as interactive realtime stuff based upon WebXR, Unity, Unreal and other 3D environments.
