BENKA @Parallel 2023
5 - 10 Sep 2023

With his art, BENKA wants to encourage viewers to question digitization and the use of smartphones and artificial intelligence in our everyday lives. The artist is interested in the complex interaction between man and machine and the associated opportunities and dangers.

Symbol of the robotization of our society in BENKA's art is the term CAPTCHA, which forms the title of each painting. A captcha is an automated sequence of numbers and/or letters that is intended to check whether the user is a human or a machine. In his works, too, letters and numbers form the basis, which is completed by an intuitive, raw application of paint.
