Making sculpture: From diorite stone axes to robotic technology

Technology has always informed and shaped the way sculpture has been made.

This talk will focus on the way in which technology has advanced and influenced production and aesthetics of sculpture throughout the centuries.

Showing examples from historic to more recent and contemporary productions, Altenburger will explain the dynamics between technological advances and how artists react, integrate and inform progress in technology throughout the centuries.

With decades of experience in the field, Altenburger will particularly focus on the production of stone artefacts and sculptures through the ages.
