Theresa Schubert, ‘A synthetic archive (Glacier Trilogy)’
Artist Theresa Schubert closes the audiovisual art series Antroposcenes, Narratives on Life in the Anthropocene, a program curated by Pau Waelder featuring six artistic proposals showcased throughout 2024 on ‘La Façana’ at Lo Pati in Amposta. In this instance, Schubert has created a work based on artificial intelligence, depicting synthetic mountain landscapes that emerge and dissolve alongside glaciers. The data collected by the artist was used to train three machine learning models, which transformed the data into an open, ever-changing aesthetic collage titled A Synthetic Archive (Glacier Trilogy). The models assigned visual forms to the meanings of words, revealing glaciers in a new poetic light while offering a critical perspective on the state of these ephemeral formations.
Theresa Schubert’s work will be on display until February 20, 2025, at the Amposta art center.
Dr. Theresa Schubert is an artist, researcher, and curator based in Berlin, who explores unconventional views of nature, technology, and the self.

A Reflection on the Anthropocene
In 2024, Lo Pati’s outdoor exhibition space hosted ‘Antroposcenes, Narratives on Life in the Anthropocene,’ a program curated by Pau Waelder featuring six artists who explored life in the Anthropocene—a concept referring to a geological period defined by the decisive impact of human activity on our planet. The selected artists created audiovisual works offering diverse perspectives on life in the Anthropocene, particularly focusing on environments and systems often overlooked yet crucial to life on Earth.
