SPECTRUM

SPECTRUM Under the title “Spectrum”, FH JOANNEUM IDK design students are transforming the nave of St. Anthony’s Church in Graz into an immersive media experience. Not only sound and light spectra, but any concept of diversity and bandwidth is used as design material. The various narratives explore intermediate spaces and shades of emotional and semantic […]

REM

REM As a multi-layered montage of photos, videos and sounds, “REM” explores human sleep and makes the process of dreaming visible. The multimedia installation by no means attempts to illustrate a dream, interpret it or sketch a wishful image. Rather, Gudrun Barenbrock is concerned with grasping the world in all its intensity – including sleep, […]

FLORA

FLORA Abstract lines come together to form complex and at the same time very aesthetic shapes, which sometimes appear in curved harmony, at other times in angular chaos – these are the impressions that the interactive installation “FLORA” is able to create. The appearances are never the same, as they are controlled and designed by […]

VISUAL PIANO

VISUAL PIANO We all see and hear the same things, but perceive them completely differently. Based on this individuality of human sensory perception, the artist Laurenz Theinert creates experiential spaces with his “visual piano” that are free of messages, thought patterns and concepts and are therefore open to subjective and collective experience. In Graz Cathedral, […]

UNVEILED

UNVEILED With their audiovisual projection “Unveiled – Dreams are my reality”, OchoReSotto literally unveil the complexity of our reality, building on their previous artistic explorations. Seemingly solid images are fragmented in order to be reassembled into new, illusory and surreal landscapes. The play with subjective perception, with the constructed artificiality of truth, but also with […]

LUMIÈRE SONORE

LUMIÈRE SONORE In the immersive performance “Lumière Sonore” by A.I.L.O, light and fog merge with the dance performance by installation and performance artist Anna-Eva Berge and the sound improvisation by sound artist Fabrice Leroux. The interplay of the elements continuously oscillates between the material and immaterial: it seems like a quest for absolute detachment from […]

UNTITLED (QUESTION PROJECTION)

UNTITLED (QUESTION PROJECTION) People tend to use their minds to categorize and classify the world and thus make sense of it. In reality, however, all our knowledge provides no answers to many existential, burning and banal questions: Why does nothing ever happen? Have I never been fully awake? Should I get drunk? Or: Will happiness […]

MUSEUM OF THE MOON

MUSEUM OF THE MOON It is a powerful sight that opens up as you enter the Graz parish church: the moon. Luke Jerram’s light sculpture “Museum of the Moon” shows a replica of the moon with a diameter of six meters. Each centimeter replicates around five kilometers of the moon’s surface, whose craters, mountains and […]

INCREDIBLE

INCREDIBLE Is it sleep or the dream of reason that gives birth to monsters? Inspired by a Spanish artwork with an ambiguous title, the artists Detlef Hartung and Georg Trenz pose the question of whether the presence or absence of our reason creates monsters, thereby focusing their project on the polarity of statements. The associative […]

OM

OM Surrounded by the massive dolomite rock of Graz’s Schloßberg, the “Dom im Berg” becomes a powerful place of inspiration. In a world that is increasingly dominated by virtual experiences, “OM” deliberately sets a counterpoint. Created using state-of-the-art digital tools and following classic design principles, it opens up an analog space of experience that directly […]
