  Parus Albert Schaeffer, Franz 1, 2022. Franz Kafka as a visual artist. Franz Kafka was nor only an author, but also a visual artist. One of the art books that impressed me most recently ist "Franz Kafka, The drawings" (Yale University Press, 2022).  Kafka's drawings are often surreal, sometimes humorous, always with a touch of darkness. The drawings give us a rare insight into Kafka's creative process, as he often worked on them over a period of days or weeks, making changes and additions. "Beyond a certain point there is no return. This point has to be reached.” (The Zürau Aphorisms, 5). This aphorism by Kafka characterizes for me a core of art creation. That's why it's on the entry page of www.parus.work. Franz Kafka als bildender Künstler. Franz Kafka war nicht nur ein Autor, sondern auch ein bildender Künstler. Eines der Kunstbücher, die mich in letzter Zeit am meisten beeindruckt haben, ist "Franz Kafka, Die Zeichnungen“ (C.H. Beck, 2021) Kafk...

Parus Albert Schaeffer, Heat 4, 2022. An exhibition with works of Bill Viola in Salzburg. Magnificent works of one of the world's most renowned video artists, Bill Viola, are on display at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg. The exhibition features a variety of Viola's installations, including three of his most iconic pieces: "The Path," "Night Vigil" and "The Raft." Viola is widely considered to be one of the leading figures in the field of video art, and his work has been featured in major museums and galleries around the world. His pieces often explore universal themes such as birth, death, and the human condition. I experienced on my visit at the exhibition something truly unique. Strong recommendation for a visit. The exhibition is open until the end of October. Eine Ausstellung mit Werken von Bill Viola in Salzburg.

  Parus Albert Schaeffer, Transfiguration 6, 2022. Why am I using artificial intelligence in my art? Art has always been about pushing boundaries and expanding our horizons.  For me, embracing new technology is a natural extension of this. That's why I use artificial intelligence AI in my art. Here are three reasons why I am using AI in my artwork: 1. It helps me push boundaries. With AI, I am able to create art that is unlike anything that has been made before. This allows me to explore new ideas and find new ways of expressing myself.  2. It helps me create unique artwork.   Since every artist has their own individual style, using AI in my artwork allows me to create pieces that are uniquely mine. By incorporating AI into my workflow, I am able to create art that reflects my own personal vision and aesthetic sensibility.   3. It helps me experimentation. Like any artist, I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and mediums. With AI, I am able to quickly...
