DIGITAL BY NATURE

The Art of Miguel Chevalier
September 12, 2025 – March 1^st 2026

The Kunsthalle München presents the first major solo exhibition in Germany of works by the French artist Miguel Chevalier (*1959 in Mexico City, lives in Paris). He is one of the pioneers of virtual and digital art. Since the 1980s, he has been exploring the possibilities of the computer as a creative means of expression. While always using the latest technologies, including the newest developments in artificial intelligence (AI), he always keeps up a dialog with art and cultural history. Even though Chevalier’s works always originate in the digital realm, the sensual experience in the physical space is an equally important aspect for him. On display are sculptures and drawings that he produced by using 3D printing and robotics, videos and expansive installations. In the latter, algorithms continuously create new images that visitors can shape interactively by moving their body. The exhibition is dedicated to the relationship between the digital and analog worlds, astonishing connections between nature and technology as well as human interventions in the environment.
