In the run-up to the exhibition “Connected. Peter Kogler with…” at Kunsthaus Graz, the internationally active Austrian media artist Peter Kogler made a double intervention at KLANGLICHT 2019. Visitors encountered his hypnotic patterns both on the BIX media façade and in the urban outdoor space. Scarves with a net-like pattern became a highly visible part of the festival – and so did the audience who wore them around their necks. In this way, “Klanglicht Connected” links Peter Kogler’s art directly with the visitors to Klanglicht.
Become part of a work of art!
Equipped with the Peter Kogler scarf, the audience, together with the Kunsthaus Graz, transformed the public square in front of the museum into a shining sea of people!
KLANGLICHT 2019
Peter Kogler has been working as a media artist between computer graphics, film, collage and architecture since the 1980s. His consistent preoccupation with the technical and reproducible image and the power of the media makes him today – under the conditions of a digitally influenced everyday life – a visionary in dealing with the power of the masses.

“I am looking forward to a ‘glowing’ crowd of people in front of the Kunsthaus, who will become part of a work by Peter Kogler and then take their own personal Kogler home with them. … a wonderful image of a real reverberation of the event!”
– Katrin Bucher Trantow, Chief Curator Kunsthaus Graz
