Biography

Born in Germany in 1998, Lukas Jarsumbeck early dedicated himself to artistic projects. From a young age, he exhibited a keen interest in creating physical objects, beyond painting, by crafting his own toys from wood, such as pyramids, tunneling machines, and pirate ships. Throughout his childhood and early adolescence, Jarsumbeck explored various projects, ranging from painting and furniture making to the design of simple architectural structures.

At the age of 17, Jarsumbeck focused on canvas painting, experimenting with a wide array of styles and materials. This period of his work was profoundly influenced by 20th-century abstract artists and those from the early 2000s, particularly Francis Bacon and Gerhard Richter, whose engagement with abstraction and realism left a significant mark on his practice. This exploratory phase culminated in the series "Binary" and "Kleksographics". He was deeply impressed by the spatial art of installation artists like Bruce Nauman and Olafur Eliasson, leading him to expand his artistic endeavours into immersive installations.

Growing up during a time when digital fabrication, and especially 3D printing, was on the rise, Jarsumbeck developed a strong interest in innovative production methods. Concurrently, he was influenced by advances in high-tech architecture through pioneers such as Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. These advancements in modern architectural design and sustainable practices provided a rigorous framework for integrating functionality and aesthetics. These influences shaped his understanding of the relationship between technology and design.

In 2019, Jarsumbeck commenced his architectural studies at the Bauhaus University Weimar, driven by his long-standing fascination with the field. According to Jarsumbeck, architecture requires formal education and licensing, contrasting with art, aligning with his goal to realise functional projects. During his studies, he focused on integrating energy supply processes into buildings and creating holistic structures that unite necessity with design.

Parallel to his architectural studies, Jarsumbeck continued to explore the intersection of art and technology. He engaged with automation processes for art production and experimented with 3D printing techniques. His contemporary projects reflect his commitment to innovative manufacturing methods and a precise compositional approach.

Jarsumbeck views himself as an artist who creates physical objects through digital technologies and creative processes. To him, his works are formulated permutations of chance. In the context of generative artificial networks, Jarsumbeck sees great potential, as this technology allows for comprehensive analyses and studies as well as the connection of digital, conceptual, and physical worlds. He suggests that these worlds are intricately interwoven and that true art resides in the realm of thought. He does not rule out the possibility that digital and physical spheres may one day fully merge.

Jarsumbeck's current artistic practice is characterized by the fusion of traditional art techniques with cutting-edge technology. His works have been showcased in several exhibitions, underscoring his versatility and commitment to expanding the boundaries of conventional art forms. In the future, he plans to continue his studies in digital fabrication and intelligent materials and to develop interactive installations that respond to environmental stimuli. As Jarsumbeck never confines himself to a fixed "style," he is expected to continue exploring new thematic fields and integrating emerging technologies and scientific insights into his work.
