Warmth and whimsy,
inspired by the web.
Concrete.
Physical.
In the late 1960s, artist Susanne Ussing coined the term “cyberspace” for several pieces of her art. Alongside partner Carsten Hoff, their Atelier Cyberspace work was invested in warmth and humanity, not unrelenting dystopian futures. As Hoff explained, “[t]here nothing esoteric about [cyberspace]. Nothing digital, either. It was just a tool. The space was concrete, physical.”
The CAT Lab pursues projects that capture those concrete, physical aspects of cyberspace and technology by using art to create warmth and whimsy, inspired by the web.
