Photography - Media Art
This year’s focal point presents works from artists who not only use the
medium of photography but also combine it with other mediums, artists whose
concept over the years has followed this mixing of photography with other
art practices.
We have also thought out for the first time for Crossover, in the sense of a
border crossing, a shared project authorship.
The gallery collective has invited three Austrian positions (Gerda Lampalzer
& Manfred Opperman: photography-film, Eva Schegel: photography-painting,
alian productions: photography-media art). These artists were requested to
invite another artist in order to help expand and congeal the theme.
Cross Talk
A project from alien productions and Machfeld conceived for the exhibition
Crossover III
Both artist cooperatives alien productions (Martin Breindl, Norbert Math,
Andrea Sodomka) and Machfeld (Sabine Maier & Maichael Mastrototaro) were
given a concept from the Fotogalerie Wien’s Crossover for a shifting of
positions to radicalization but also a sign that media art does not stand
for the most part as a solitary artistic effort but as a collaboration.
Which in their case is an essential part of the strategy, all alien
production and Machfeld can be is encompassed under the title CROSS TALK a
joint installation using all rooms in the gallery.
The installation consists of 3.1. (three to one) modules, whereas each room
of the gallery becomes one field of perception out of which a so-called
reality is constituted. The big exhibition room is dedicated to the picture
the small room to text and the cinema only to Sound. As .1-Module functions
as the electronic radio room of the ORF(Austrian State Radio) art radio the
installation (in a live emission) as transmission of networks and radio
apparatus diffuses.
alien productions and Machfeld construct on one hand a complete virtual
media environment, of which the starting point is the digital domain as it
is produced in a variety of software programs (3d- animation, text to speech
generators etc.). On the other hand they are explicitly influenced by
technique and media history where the newly produced images sounds and texts
are spatially perceptible through ‘old media" like the simple mirrored
effect of stereoscopic projections or the speaking stylus or classical sound
wave effects as a construction of reality from a virtual environment.
