Land scape Special Edition CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW I think art is a global language and it's important to reach a wide audience. I don't think online platforms will replace traditional gallery spaces, you can only truly experience it. I have also done work on the subject of Instagram, flood of images and what remains at the end of the day, such as the work "#draussen" which shows 100 screenshots from Instagram, each with 1% opacity, one on top of the other. I personally use Instagram mainly as a kind of portfoliohttps://www.instagram.com/floriannoerl We have really appreciated the multifaceted nature of your artistic research and before leaving this stimulating conversation we would like to thank you for chatting with us and for sharing your thoughts, Florian. What projects are you currently working on, and what are some of the ideas that you hope to explore in the future? Florian Nörl: In addition to the textile stone, I developed another material last year, which I call „Textilsteinoton“. This is also a textile-based material, which allows me to mold objects and go even more in the direction of sculpture. It also serves as a part of my Textilestone-Gems series as well as the Textilestone-Icons series currently being presented at theART3F salo international d'art Paris. I'm also working on a new series of "but...fly?" As an allusion to real chess, the series should consist of 32 works. Numbers one and two are already done. I continue to research the combination of textile stone with other materials, minerals and gemstones as well as a combination with artificially developed Swarovski crystals.
