Studer / van den Berg
The jury of the Pax Art Awards 2020 commemorates Monica Studer (*1960 in Zurich) and Christoph van den Berg (*1962 in Basel) for the broad body of work they created in the last decades, which has always been characterised by their unique use of digital tools. Employing game engines, computer renderings, real-time digital environments, internet-based spaces, interactive installations, VR applications and artificial intelligence, the artists design and create digital utopias constructed from variety of mixed-media set-ups. These scenarios invite viewers into enter unusual virtual environments, welcoming them to rediscover themselves in these hybrid spaces.
