Missing Blue

Art, Media, and Technology (BFA)

Jonathan Riese
Jonathan Riese is a German digital artist and designer interested in the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. His project Missing Blue explores our connection with and longing for nature in a world increasingly removed from the natural environment. During his time in isolation due to COVID-19, he transformed his living space by re-creating the environments he longed for the most. With the limited means available, he used digital tools and everyday objects to both simulate and reconnect to nature. Recordings of these installations are collected in a short film centered on the transformation of his room into an open ocean.
