With his AI-based series, Jan Daniel Wolters creates a visual world suspended between futuristic landscapes, digital atmosphere and subtle distortions. Different environments are united through a shared visual language of color, contrast and controlled glitch elements.
“Scapes is a series of constructed environments bound by scape: cityscape, dreamscape, icescape, starscape, and hardscape. Each shifts terrain but holds to one visual language: color, contrast, and a glitch layer. The distortion plays with scale and surface, most visible at full size,” says Jan Daniel Wolters.
Created using Midjourney and Seadream Upscaling, the works move between artificial construction, science-fiction aesthetics and contemporary digital art. At times the images feel like urban visions of a near future, then suddenly like dreamlike parallel worlds or cosmic landscapes filled with light and texture.
The series has been selected for the upcoming edition of Lürzer’s Archive “200 Best Digital Artists” - one of the internationally renowned platforms for creative visual culture and digital art.
