‘How to manage the impossible – AI vs human imagination’ – the AI project by Linda Schaeffler thrills the GoSeeAWARDS 2023 Jury and is rewarded with Gold

Linda Schaeffler is a photographer, art directrice and DOP from Berlin with a focus on sustainability, female energy, futurism & transformation : “For me, design means finding answers to the questions of our time. As an art director, I conceive and communicate ideas, and as a photographer & DOP, I give them a visual expression.”

The GoSeeAWARDS 2023 : Linda Schaeffler wins Gold, Silver goes to Tobias Habermann, Bronze is shared by Artistspool and Anouk Nitsche, and Julia Buruleva is voted favorite of the public.
