SILVER RATIO from LIA

Thoughts of a building. Or: a silver cut.

That’s how moving the pictures on my glass walls are.

New, made by the rhythm of the sounds.

To feel the connection between sound and light,

I also let myself be guided by the shape of the house

KLANGLICHT 2018

LIA, born in Graz, lives and works in Vienna. The pioneer of software and net art has been working with digital art since 1995, producing videos, performances, installations, sculptures, projections and digital applications. The basic material of her work is code. The Austrian artist translates concepts into formally written structures, which in turn generate output through a “machine”. The artistic result then stands in contrast to the formality of the written code. LIA’s works draw on drawing and painting traditions and combine these with the aesthetics of digital imagery and the language of algorithms. With ‘Silver Ratio’, the artist refers to the relationship of the visual elements to the architecture of the Künstlerhaus and draws an arc between the rigid structure and the liveliness of the building, created by the people who use it. Damian Stewart, who combines sound, code, light and electronics in his artistic works, is responsible for the musical staging of the installation.
