Mario Klingemann is an artist who uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to create and investigate systems. He is particularly interested in human perception of art and creativity, researching methods in which machines can augment or emulate these processes. Thus his artistic research spans a wide range of areas like generative art, cybernetic aesthetics, information theory, feedback loops, pattern recognition, emergent behaviors, neural networks, cultural data, or storytelling.
He has been active in the field of blockchain-based art since early 2020 and played an instrumental role in the stewardship and emergence of the ecologically responsible and self-governed NFT community Hic et Nunc.
He was winner of the Lumen Prize Gold 2018, received an honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2020, and won the British Library Labs Creative Award 2015. He was artist in residence at the Google Arts & Culture Lab and has been recognized as a pioneer in the field of AI art.
