Hubert Blanz's artistic works mainly deal with urban infrastructure, spatial patterns and geographic as well as
virtual networks. A central focus has become the metropolis, its rapid and constant expansion, the challenges
which arise from this, its vision and its impact on our living together.
Reading and deciphering Blanz‘s large-scale images depends on the beholder’s distance from the work. From a
distance the picture often appears to be an abstract pattern, but when it is approached, the components become
recognizable – a game with proportions and the perception of invented spaces.
The series “Urban Codes” was created while walking around Chicago at night over several months. Hubert Blanz focuses on light, one of the most significant elements of the city. Each individual photo combines many illuminated skyscraper office buildings, resulting in dazzling, grid-like light structures where every building still has its own radiance that seems to be deciphered by a kind of light code.
"Hubert Blanz is the science fiction author of Austrian photography. The first Digital Surroundings were exhibited back in 2001 in a photo space then known as the “Volpinum.” At that time, circuit boards simulated the satellite view of possible cities, electronic components replaced the real buildings and helicopters rattled through the air. Since then, Hubert Blanz has been building on a hyperreal universe: Commuter towns made of polystyrene, whose barren environs reinforce the impression that all life has long been extinguished from them, or airport runways stratified on an unmanageable number of levels, or highways crisscrossing on just as many levels, implying a vertical urban complex like that of Zion, the city of resistance fighters in “The Matrix.” The practice of accumulating photos, whether they come from the Internet or a digital camera, seems to be the logical consequence of a picture archive that is available at all times. [...]
Or, finally, Chicago: the lattice structure of steel-frame buildings, the window dividers – his tireless eye collects the structural modules of the city, the grids that lie above it, the Urban Codes that are sent out from the illuminated office spaces at night." (Excerpt from Ruth Horak’s text “Urban Codes”)
