Detailed information

Product detailed description

The print Staring at the Sun originates from the exhibition Persistent Worlds – the first solo presentation of Alice Bucknell at Kunsthalle Praha. Bucknell is one of the most distinctive voices of a new generation of artists merging digital technology, video game environments, and contemporary art. Their work uses the language of simulation to explore the relationship between humans, machines, and artificial intelligence.

This print captures the atmosphere of Bucknell’s video work Staring at the Sun — a “documentary sci-fi” examining the shadow side of solar geoengineering. Through its striking visual composition, it conveys the tension between scientific progress and ecological uncertainty. The imagery blends scientific data, simulated landscapes, and speculative visual narratives, offering a reflection on how far humanity’s desire to control nature can reach.

Each print is produced on archival-grade fine art paper with a matte surface and bright white finish, ensuring high color stability and longevity. A collectible artwork designed for display or framing.

Alice Bucknell – artist, writer and educator based in Los Angeles

Alice Bucknell is a North American artist, writer and educator based in Los Angeles. Their work explores the affective dimensions of video games as interfaces for understanding complex systems, relationships, and forms of knowledge. Bucknell is generally interested in the limits of scientific knowledge and systems thinking, the weird possibilities of play, and the ecological dimensions of games that can dissolve binaries like humans vs environment, natural vs synthetic intelligence, and self vs world.

Recent and upcoming exhibitions include Nightcrawlers at the Centre Pompidou, Soft Robots at Copenhagen Contemporary, Quantum Visions at Tabakalera, Staring at the Sun at EPFL Pavilions, Almost Unreal / the MUNCH Oslo Tiennial, Other Intelligences at HEK, the Solar Biennial at MUDAC, and their first museum solo show at Kunsthalle Prague.
