Chris Dorland – Painting and Technology

The digital permeates every artistic practice, just as it permeates every other aspect of our lives. In his paintings and videos, Chris Dorland confronts us with this all encompassing entanglement–and our simultaneous detachment from the underlying processes. In conversation with Additive, he talks about the influence of science fiction, his stance towards AI art and the power of painting in 2026.

Evelyn Bencicova – Symbolic Narratives

There’s something uncanny, highly contemporary about the aesthetic of Evelyn Bencicova’s work. In her interdisciplinary practice, the artist creates multidimensional worlds that blend personal questions with current topics around representation, technological development and philosophy. In conversation with Additive, Bencicova talks about spirituality, evil aesthetics, free artistic and commissioned projects.

We chatted about the idea behind the project, what they are looking for in art and their plans for the future.

Tracey Snelling – How We Live

Tracey Snelling’s artworks are explorations of the extreme complexities of our lives, focussing on the social entanglements – from fleeting encounters to the love of our life – that make our lives bearable and overly complex at the same time.

John David James

Pursuing many of his artististic ideas since his adolescence, James’ work is about a constant refinement of ideas and finding new ways of their expression.
