Mara-Johanna Kölmel explores the profound impact of digital technologies on the field of sculpture since the 1950s. When artists create their works using AI, custom software, or prototyping technologies, how should we be rethinking the concept of sculpture? Through the works of Morehshin Allahyari, Alice Channer, and Sterling Crispin, as well as an inter-generational group of artists, she examines how plasticity, corporeality, and monumentality have been transformed by the digital. Introducing concepts such as more-than-human corporeality, digital plasticity, and nomadic monumentality, the book encourages a re-evaluation of the sculptural. Systematically and transhistorically, the author connects research perspectives on sculpture and digital media, highlighting how the understanding of the sculptural has evolved into the (post-)digital age.

Mara-Johanna Kölmel is a curator who heads the art department at the Zeppelin Museum. She has worked internationally in various curatorial positions, including for the Biennale of Sydney, the Arko Art Centre Seoul, the Kunsthalle Hamburg, and the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. Mara obtained her master's degree in art history from the Courtauld Institute of Art and earned her doctorate at Leuphana University Lüneburg. She has published numerous essays on contemporary art and digital technologies and is co-editor of the publications The Sculptural in the (Post)Digital Age and Dada Data. Contemporary Practice in the Era of Post-Truth Politics (Bloomsbury).
