About Marsha Wichers, visual artist

Marsha Wichers (born 1980) graduated in visual arts from the Royal Academy of Art  in the Hague (KABK) in 2013.  A few years later she completed a master's degree in Design at the same art academy. The body, nature and the human condition have always been central to her work. Initially, Marsha mainly made sculptures, but the emergence of new digital technologies and machine learning systems (AI) have changed her way of working. These technologies have become an essential part of her work process.

She combines the craft of working with clay with the use of these advanced digital techniques. Surprises and new insights emerge from the combination and the dialogue between the two.

 

Through her work, she questions what new technologies mean for humanity. While it's nice that Botox helps us maintain a good appearance, what is the effect on our human non-verbal communication? And how should we relate to all the imagery being created with artificial intelligence? It is beautiful and appears lifelike, but can we still distinguish it from the tangible world around us?
