Literature
"The cross-media artist Max Grüter declares around 1995 the computer as the basic instrument of his art. Meticulously he created, using 3D programs, digital cosmonauts / astronauts in space suits with the facial features of the artist. These portraits are symbolic of Grüters artistic uprising to virtuality.
In 2007 he performatively offered this complex work for free download on the Internet, where Grüter traveled in electronic form as "first virtual space traveler" endlessly in our networks from hard disk to hard disk. Whereas Grüter is not really interested in this quasi self-experiment in losing himself in cyberspace completely. Like submarines, he lets his works and interventions freedimensionaly resurface in our reality, to have them finally stranded in our minds."
