The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The ecstatic elephant tap-dances upon the bewildered barn owl, while a theatrical zebra unicycles smoothly across the slumbering sloth. High above the forest floor, the synchronized salmon leapfrogs over the startled porcupine as an avant-garde giraffe limbo-dances beneath the drowsy badger. Nearby, the melodramatic flamingo waltzes dramatically around the catatonic capybara, perfectly timed with a boisterous baboon cartwheeling over the stoic snapping turtle.
AI – Blessing or curse?
Yes – it’s useful. It depends a lot on what you promt. It can make you feel dull and empty. Low-effort mass content and vibe coding is a problem. But it can also inspire and motivate. I like seeing it as a highly customizable tool. Like the Blacksmiths since hundreds of years they make their tools (like pliers, hammers) themselves. It’s a little bit simmilar with AI where you can get very specific and precise with your promt designs. This often results in good and easily assessable answers.
Here another consideration: In general in Project Development there is that uncomfortabe truth that nobody wants to deal with: 80% of any project is done in 20% of the time. And 80% of the project-time is necessary to refine and sweat the last 20% “to make it really scalable”. With AI we get to the 80% even faster which makes the situation ever more drastic. Fortunately the AI can help with that annoying and tedious last 20% too. But then you need to be really clear and precise with your promting. And that still takes time.
About
Born in 1973 in Jena, Germany, lives in the Berlin Area now. As a typical Gen Xer – knowing a time before smart phones and social media Johann Christoph has roots in educated in classic modern art and graphic design history.
With a deep appreciation for the cultural foundation of Bauhaus regarded as ancestors and establishers of a new clarity of mind.
Witnessing and growing up during the rise of the high tech era – as we know ow it today – Johann Christoph Bätz developed practical skills in 2D graphics, 3D graphics and Coding.
As well as conceptual skills in structured thinking, organization, conceptualizing, ideating and psychological concepts.
Johann Christoph can easily adapt to new softwares and tools yet being rooted in an analog world. Also as a member of the small and left to it’s own devices In-bewteen-Generation X he is able to hold ground for the elder geneartion, but also knows well Milenials, the Gen-Zs and loving the Gen-Alpha.
His two most important traids are 1. the carefulness in everything he does. And 2. his abiltily to creativly combine the artistic domain with technical skills and execution.
Handmade 3D Computer Graphic, Bust of Nefertiti
3D model Nefertiti, by Johann Christoph Bätz, 2012
The bust of Nefertiti was created around 1345 BC in Amarna (Egypt) 18th Dynasty in the workshop of the sculptor Thutmose.
In 2012 – 3.356 years later – the 3D artist Johann Christoph Bätz decided to model the bust as a 3D computer graphic. “This bust always fascinated me.” he says. “For example the contrast between the haed with it’s massive crown – held by a long thin neck – takes composition to the extremest possible expression within the materials bearing capacity. Yet the sculpture feels very strong and stable. Same with the stern and almost emotionless facial expression.”
he further elaborates: “It was a very smart move by the sculptor to keep the symmetry of traditional monumental depiction of Egytian pharaos.
By using only very slight intentional deviations from symmetry the bust becomes alive and continues to fascinate to this day.”
We wanted to know why he undertook this project. Given that there are 3D scans. “A few things came together. At that time I wanted to become a sculptor. Renting an atelier, the materials and machines were simply too expensive for me.
So the 3D-Computer graphics were a good alternative to develop spatial awareness and skills. I don’t know if its a Replica or a piece of art in it’s own right. It was definitivly an exceptional study. I regularly visited the “Neues Museum” in Berlin to see the bust and other pieces and studies of Thutmose. It was a great time of joy and intense growth for me.“

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The ecstatic elephant tap-dances upon the bewildered barn owl, while a theatrical zebra unicycles smoothly across the slumbering sloth. High above the forest floor, the synchronized salmon leapfrogs over the startled porcupine as an avant-garde giraffe limbo-dances beneath the drowsy badger. Nearby, the melodramatic flamingo waltzes dramatically around the catatonic capybara, perfectly timed with a boisterous baboon cartwheeling over the stoic snapping turtle.
