janne höltermann

Janne Höltermann’s work observes how technology and capitalism abstract and restructure movement, space and time. Her recent videos examine the rhythm of container ships, precision in robotics, and automated warehouses and look at how the transfer of our digital world is projected into physical space. The videos take standardized formats and automatization as a starting point to organize physical space by virtual means. The spaces that arise are hybrid, alienated spaces and tip between real-physical and virtually constructed environments. They emphasize how a neoliberal dynamic deconstructs and transforms space and time and how virtualization, digitization, and optimization of processes foster the creation of mobile topologies.
