Simon Hundsbichler

Simon Hundsbichler is a graphic designer based in Vienna, Austria. Moving across a wide range of media, his practice remains centered on the elementary matters of the discipline, focusing on the arrangement, sequencing and sampling of visual material, mediating the relation between image and text. He takes a critical interest in the tools and formats he employs, which at times themselves become the subject of his work.

PROJECTS

Model Collapse is a study on the feedback effect in recursive AI systems. Displayed as a sequence of (compression) artifacts – each an artificial reconstruction of the last – they simulate a timelapse of recursion, where standardisation, hallucination and error accumulate in a sculptural frame-by-frame installation. The reconstruction process follows a recursive loop: 3D-printing (UV-resin), photographing the 3D-print, AI-generating a 360°-video from that image, photoscanning the generative Video-Frames (Photogrammetry) to reconstruct the next 3D-Model to be printed again. The resulting sequence is presented in a museum-like setting on a vitrine as well as animated by flipping through the pages of a booklet, alongside visual and textual references.
