Interpretation Centre in Saorge

    Born in 1969, German artist Dörte Meyer creates space-
    related works and multimedia projects. Her current work deals
    with tools for digital creation and their aesthetic effects on our
    sensory perceptions.
    At three locations along the Roya river, she installed
    pictograms inspired by Bronze Age rock engravings found
    on Mount Bego in the valley of Wonders.
    These signs engraved in stone were created with the help
    of a generative artificial intelligence system. For this work,
    she chose primary forms, easily recognizable. Like warning signs
    or road signs, these images are a modern form of
    visual communication, reduced to the essential. In this way,
    Dörte Meyer creates a dialogue between ancient stories
    and contemporary signs.
    At the same time, the work is subject to natural erosion,
    it may disappear, covered by vegetation, or simply not
    be seen. The artist considers this process as part of the work.
