New matter-of-factness

– My series ”new matter-of-factness” deals with the manner of representation of New Objectivity and its continuance in times of GenAI. Part of this series is presented in The AI Art Magazine Edition #2

”’Sachlich’ could be best understood as ’factual’, ’matter-of-fact’, ’mpartial’, ’practical’, or ’precise’; Sachlichkeit is the noun form of the adjective/adverb and usually implies ’matter-of-factness’.”

Dennis Crockett, art historian

”Neue Sachlichkeit emerged 100 years ago as a response to upheaval, uncertainty, and change – themes that feel particularly relevant today. With AI driving the next wave of transformation, Katrin’s engagement with this historical movement feels especially timely. Her works offer a contemporary reflection on clarity, precision, and detachment – but also on surprise, play, and possibility. By combining historical perspectives with the unpredictability of AI, she breathes new life into an artistic philosophy that is a century old.”
