Digital art project as New Year’s greeting

Berlin, 20.12.2018 – Once again business partners of CROWDCONSULTANTS will be surprised with a special New Year’s greeting. The digital pioneer Emil Schult designed a multiple whose motif refers to one of the world’s most famous Big Data Use Cases, the high-precision 3D mapping of our galaxy by the Gaia probe of the European Space Agency.

After the great success with the project “I am digital, 2017”, the multimedia artist and digital pioneer Emil Schult once again designed the New Year’s greeting for business partners of CROWDCONSULTANTS. Schult designed an acrylic reverse glass painting with 3D print of the galaxy and sun symbol in an edition of 100 copies each in 22 k yellow, moon and white gold. Schult describes his work “TRANSPARENCY 3D, 2018” as a “symbol for the connection of the almighty primordial power of the universe with the seemingly infinite opportunities and challenges of digitization, as currently addressed by the Gaia project”. Gaia is a space probe of the European Space Agency (ESA) that carries out a highly accurate three-dimensional optical survey of the entire sky. Although the probe ultimately captures “only” one percent of the stars of our Milky Way astrometrically, photometrically and spectroscopically, the mission is one of the world’s largest digitisation and big data projects.

“Emil’s idea and project fit perfectly with us as a pioneer in the use of digital tools and as a service provider for ESA,” says Peter Bachsleitner, co-founder of CROWDCONSULTANTS.  “Digitization leads in many places into new worlds, for example through more transparency for the more sustainable use of precious resources via sharing economy business models.”

About Emil Schult

The digital pioneer and multimedia artist Emil Schult (born 1946 in Dessau, lives in Düsseldorf) was a master student of Joseph Beuys and Gerhard Richter at the Düsseldorf Art Academy.  Even then, in the 1960s, he combined visual and performing arts. He became known worldwide through more than 15 years of cooperation with the electropop pioneers Kraftwerk, especially through his co-authorship of songs such as “Das Model”, “Computerwelt” and “Technopop” as well as the design of record covers such as “Autobahn”, “TransEuropeExpress” and “Radioaktivität”.

To this day, Schult’s work with pioneers of electronic music, Fluxus artists and inventors of the 20th century has led to a diverse artistic oeuvre. The central theme is always the progress of technology in relation to man and the cosmos. Since 2017, Schult has brought together the various themes of his extensive work in the Transhuman Art Critics project (www.transhumanartcritics.com) founded with Emma Nilsson. His multimedia works on the evolution of digital media in art have so far been performed in museums and at festivals in London, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Zhang Zhou and Shenyang.
