MO:YA | Markus Graf (Seismo) | Alexander Friedl

The multimedia installation “CHRONOS” by the Austrian collective MO:YA transforms Graz’s landmark, the clock tower, into a light sculpture that can be seen from afar. At regular intervals, like its clockwork, the tower awakens from the darkness and its façade is transformed into a play of light and shadow.

MO:YA is a creative studio based in Graz and Salzburg that specializes in immersive multimedia projects. With their work, Werner Huber and Roland Mariacher create unique experiences between physical and virtual reality. The two designers were awarded the State Prize for Design in the “Design Concepts” category and are lecturers at the FH Joanneum. MO:YA is implementing the “CHRONOS” project in collaboration with sound artist Markus Graf (Seismo), who specializes in instrumental and electronic music. For the composition, Graf also used original sound recordings from the clock tower in his arrangement. For the production of the visual content, a true-to-original 3D model of the building was created as part of the project by Alexander Friedl, a creative from Graz with a love of detail. The HTBLVA Graz Ortweinschule graduate (product design) has been supporting the sculptor Markus Wilfling with 3D modeling and renderings since 2015.
