A PARALLEL IMAGE

A Parallel Image is an electronic camera obscura, an installation by Gebhard Sengmüller, in collaboration with Franz Büchinger, supported by Fels-Multiprint. This media-archaeological, interactive sculpture is based on the fictive assumption that the currently still valid principle of electronically transmitting moving images, namely by breaking them down into single images and image lines, was never discovered. Gebhard Sengmüller is an artist working in the field of media technology. Since 1992, he has been developing projects and installations focussing on the history of electronic media


BLINKS & BUTTONS

Between Blinks & Buttons is a twofold thesis project about the camera as a networked object. Through making their photos public on the Internet, individuals create traces of themselves.In addition to their value as a memory, each image contains a multitude of information about the context of its creation.

FINE COLLECTION OF CURIOUS SOUND OBJECTS

The arrangement of this fine collection of curious sound objects, includes six exceptional exhibits from the world of sounds and acoustics.

DIGITAL CREATURES

Digital Creatures is a dispersed net-artwork/digital poem built from 40 sections, each an interactive, multimedia artwork. What makes this project unique and exciting is that each interlinked section is hosted on a different website, with the theme / look / aesthetic / poetics of that section.




MYLICON/EN: SOLD DOWN THE RIVER

We would like to talk about social issue, we would like to say something about negative externalities, about Moral hazard, social costs and about market failure.
But there are no words left, all has gone, we have been sold down the river. In few years, driving suv and drinking cola, smiling to the world corporations and conomists have sold down the river landscape and people, the whole planet. You see who's in charge in many democratic nations? Do you have words to explain to yourself what is modern democracy? The new stunning Audiovisual Art work, and future live cinema set by Italian experimental duo Mylicon/en.
