Description

Glb, 16 MB, 3d lidar scan, Alexandra Crouwers, 2026 'Tools (v005)' is an interactive, virtual sculpture and AR installation: a 3D scan of an assembly of objects in my studio, amongst which digital storage and neolithic stone tools. The physical objects were tied together with cables and elastic bands. The collage was taken apart after scanning – the virtual copy is its only remains. 'Tools’ is an ongoing set of works that empathically visualise the continuity of human existence across time and space. It is a way for my digital practice to emphasise and participate in 'the history of things': reuniting ideas and objects across artefacts, works of art, tools and expressions that form a "visible portrait of the collective identity” – in the words of art historian George Kubler ('The Shape of Time', 1962). ------------------ Alexandra Crouwers (NL, 1974) is a visual artist and artistic researcher, working at the intersection of ecological collapse, digital mediation and speculative fiction. Using technologies such as digital animation and 3D scanning, her practice spans large scale video installations, augmented reality, GIFs, and audio pieces. Through these, she constructs metaphorical spaces that bridge physical and virtual environments, our species and the other-than-human, as well as the distant past and far futures. She exhibited at Ludwig Museum, Budapest (‘Smaller Worlds. Diorama in contemporary art‘), Technische Sammlungen, Dresden (‘Hydromedia: Seeing with Water’), Museum M, Leuven (‘Time and Again’). Other projects include ‘Down the Silicon Meadow‘ (Office Impart), ‘Who is online?‘ (VirtualHEK), and screenings at Uppsala Short Film Festival, Transmediale, Impakt, and Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival. Crouwers is based in Belgium. www.alexandracrouwers.com / @acrwrs / @alexa_crwrs
