“Erika Kassnel-Henneberg is one of the first AI artists. a3kultur author Martina Vodermayer spoke with the subtly provocative art pioneer about the potential, risks, and dispensability of digital tools that demand control.“

“…Politicians delegate responsibility to corporations with barely regulated monopolies on knowledge and power. In the battle for attention, clear rules and consensus are needed—when keeping up with the times, it is important to maintain control…”

“… Thanks to her presentation ‘Uncanny Valley’ (…), partly controversial installations such as ‘Deep Paradise’, and her regular presence at the Great Swabian Art Exhibition, Kassnel-Henneberg enjoys respect in Augsburg’s art scene.
