Vierkant makes art that is centred upon the importance of representation across media. This is evidenced throughout his practice, whether in the documentation or the process of creating his works. The interaction between physical and digital entities propagates debates related to both the development of art in a “post-internet” age and to its contemporaneous Intellectual Property rights.
There is a definite tangible element, communicated through photography, which necessitates the capturing of a physical object. However, by altering the compositions digitally, something fundamentally different and physically nonexistent is created.

I like Vierkant's work because it's a collage of digitally created works and real life photographic images. She merges the two to create visually stimulating works that make you question what is real and what has been manipulated to look realistic.
After being further inspired by Vierkant's work I have decided instead of creating a video collage of images, I want to create a collage of images smashed together like Stezarkers work of images that hold similar forms and compositions but with a new age digital twist as seen in Vierkants work.
