Bio – Kurt Hentschläger New York based Austrian artist Kurt Hentschläger creates immersive, audiovisual installations and performances. Between 1992 and 2003 he worked collaboratively within the artist duo "Granular-Synthesis". Hentschläger’s works have characteristically been visceral and immersive, as in ZEE and FEED, with extreme perceptual effects, composed from light, sound and fog. These works physiologically affect the viewer's experience. His real-time generated CLUSTER series builds on the uncanny, by portraying 3D representations of humanoid creatures that can only exist in dynamic flux, seeming to swirl and flow like the wind, apparently unhinged from the screen. His most recent body of cinematic work including MEASURE and ORT is tracing the concept- and appropriation of nature in the Anthropocene. Most recently, in 2017, he premiered SOL, an immersive audiovisual installation in total darkness at Halle Berghain, Berlin and ORT, a public project, a 360 projection onto Oscar Niemeyer’s "Le Volcan" building in the center of Le Havre, France. Selected presentations include the Venice Biennial, the Venice Theater Biennial, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, PS1 New York, FuturePerfekt New York, MAC - Musée d'Art Contemporain Montreal, MAK – Museum of Applied Arts Vienna, National Art, ZKM – Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Museum of China Beijing, National Museum for Contemporary Art Seoul, ICC Tokyo, Arte Alameda Mexico City, MONA – Museum of Old and New Art, Hobart, Tasmania, Sharjah Art, UAE and the Power Station of Art, Shanghai. From 2013-2018 he taught as a full time Visiting Artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. .

DIGITAL ART and FEMINISM: a SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz
DIGITAL ART AND FEMINISM: A SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz 10 DIGITAL ART AND FEMINISM: A SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz Many of the images in this exhibition reveal similar interests, themes, and aesthetics to those seen in feminist Art.1 The artists— (PLOLD)RUVWUHXWHU-HQQLIHU+DOO&ODXGLD+DUW<DHO.DQDUHN-HDQHWWH/RXLH5DQX0XNKHUMHH0DU\%DWHV1HXEDXHU0DULH Sivak, Camille Utterback, Adrianne Wortzel, and Janet Zweig—rely on technology as a tool to explore geopolitics, geological phenomenon, obsolete media, data streams and sets, illusion, shifting identities, phantasmagorias, eroticism, bodies, landscapes, geography, and memory. They are not afraid to confront assumptions or propaganda, even challenging conventions and traditions. They show us diverse, alternate domains and generate narratives of augmented worlds. Common to their artworks is the surreal, employed innovatively and underscored by the radical politics of feminism to change society in order to advance it. It is a kind of new romanticism where the real is meshed with fantasy so that the boundaries between the two dissolve. These artists have created pieces that require the viewer’s time; scanning and experiencing the entirety of their respective works over time transports one to their wild and imagined realms. It is easy to lose one’s bearings with these works because they rely upon mysterious disorientation to the viewer’s prosaic and commonplace experiences. It is a situation that is wholly based on the personal, which has been one of the cornerstone themes of feminist art. Digital art has an inherent feminist issues to it. Artist Mary Bates Neubauer termed the “new macho challenge for this generation RIZRPHQ>LV@GLJLWDOWHFKQRORJ\>EHFDXVH@WKH¿HOGLVVWLOOGRPLQDWHGE\PHQ´2 Utilizing technology to make art is, interestingly enough, one of the aspects of the programming world’s fascination with digital art.3 For the artists in this exhibition, digital technologies are ways to express content that is gender related.

The irony of a festival of electronic arts being modern traffic, states that ‘we oppose from the beginning the caricature of themed Stillness initially jars our preconceptions and clichés regarding global society being hatched for us by big multinational corporations throwing the technological possibilities of the future. With the development of themselves at a breakneck pace on the information superhighways.’ (Virilio 1995) emergent and convergent technologies, we are heading towards a Today the artists’ antennae face the maelstrom of contemporary data traffic, point in time where the concepts of what constitutes stillness will overloaded with the speed and density of the information superhighway. need to be confronted.

After a year of having Ioannis Andriotis, composer and audio engineer. virtually all live music in New York City and elsewhere https://www.andriotismusic.com/ completely shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, we decided that we still wanted to provide an outlet to all Angelo Bello, composer. https://angelobello.net the composers who have continued to write music during this time. That is why we decided to plan another virtual Nathan Bowen, composer, Professor at Moorpark electroacoustic music festival for this year. Last year, College (http://nb23.com/blog/) after having planned a live festival, we had to cancel it and put on everything virtually; this year, we planned to George Brunner, composer, Director of Music go virtual from the start. We hope to be able to resume Technology, Brooklyn College C.U.N.Y. our live concerts in 2022. Daniel Fine, composer, New York City The limitations of a virtual festival meant that we could plan only to do events that could be done through the Travis Garrison, composer, Music Technology faculty at internet. Only stereo music could be played, and only the University of Central Missouri online installations could work. Paper sessions and (http://www.travisgarrison.com) workshops could be done through applications like zoom. We hope to be able to do all of these things in Doug Geers, composer, Professor of Music at Brooklyn person next year, and to resume concerts in full surround College sound.

Audemars Piguet to Unveil Concluding Lounge Design by Sebastian Errazuriz and New Artworks by Quayola at Art Basel in Hong Kong 2018
AUDEMARS PIGUET TO UNVEIL CONCLUDING LOUNGE DESIGN BY SEBASTIAN ERRAZURIZ AND NEW ARTWORKS BY QUAYOLA AT ART BASEL IN HONG KONG 2018 L: Sebastian Errazuriz, Foundations. Courtesy of Sebastian Errazuriz Studio and Audemars Piguet. R: Quayola, detail of Remains #C_021. Courtesy of the Artist and Audemars Piguet. Le Brassus, March 3rd 2018: Audemars Piguet is pleased to unveil the concluding design in a trilogy of lounge concepts by Chilean-born, New York-based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz, alongside new artworks by London-based, Italian visual artist Quayola, at Art Basel in Hong Kong. Errazuriz’s striking design will travel to all three Art Basel shows in 2018, a venue where Audemars Piguet has presented innovative concepts in the Collectors Lounge since 2013. Titled Foundations, Errazuriz’s immersive design for 2018 is based on iron ore, the natural resource at the heart of steel and one of the principal resources for watchmakers. The dynamic installation suspends hundreds of 3D-printed, scanned, and hand-moulded rocks moving in perfect synchrony and evoking the Vallée de Joux, home of Audemars Piguet in the Swiss Jura Mountains. This design evolves from the previous lounge concepts which were inspired by two other core natural materials native to the Vallée de Joux — ice (Ice Cycle, 2016) and wood (Second Nature, 2017). Similarly, Quayola’s new photographic series, titled Remains: Vallée de Joux, unifies the natural roots of Audemars Piguet with his own visual artistry. The work transports viewers to the landscape of the Vallée where Quayola’s visual images were crafted. Throughout 2018, Quayola’s artwork on the lounge will evolve, concluding in December at Art Basel in Miami Beach with the reveal of a new moving-image artwork: Promenade, a video diptych captured through drone technology and high-precision scanning.

Ballet Preljocaj & Granular Synthesis
GRANULAR!SYNTHESIS are audiovisual media artists, that strive to fuse video and sound into one medium where video is sound and vice versa. As an important part of this undertaking they develop real time video software and customized computer configurations, enabling them play video as a musical instrument. With their often symphonic performances and space within space installations GRANULAR!SYNTHESIS create electronic emotion machines, that surround, immerse their audience, overwhelm the human sensory apparatus by massive use of subsonic and penetrating light frequencies, what literally touch the visitors. Kurt Hentschläger (1960) lives in Chicago and New York (USA). Ulf Langheinrich (1960) lives in Dresden (Germany) They have been working together as GRANULAR!SYNTHESIS since 1991. 1991 - 1998 In the chain of a basic audio/video recording, any single frame (containing the sonic information as well as its visual representation) is a media grain available for unlimited copying into new patterns, with the aim of composing artificial assemblies and media structures. If the content of a grain is a sample/scan of real moment it would be prominent and made aware to the viewer in its re-manipulation and displacement. It is this time-based intervention which creates the drama. Time becomes a territory. defined by duration and designed through structures, using cloned fragments within, and so forming a grid, a web, a tissue. The ability to control and manipulate time allows the elements to lose their history and with repeated fragmentation and repetition become mechanical, reasonless and meaningless. Although the public's reception and perception of the work focus on the mirror of the projection and dwell in the drama of the newly stringed images, our other concern is the potential of the machine: Its fundamental capacity to create unlimited variations and to generate structures which seem independent of causal orders.

Konzeptionelle Kunstentwicklung – Strategien, Entwürfe und Realisierung Vorwort Die vorliegende Schrift versucht meine Konzeptions- und Realisierungsarbeit bei unterschiedlichen Kunstinitiativen in den letzten zwanzig Jahren in Oberösterreich darzustellen und sie innerhalb des internationalen Kunstdiskurses zu verorten. Zentrale Abschnitte sind drei Kunsteinrichtungen gewidmet, an deren Entstehen und Entwicklung ich in entscheidender Position über lange Jahre beteiligt war: Kulturvereinigung/KünstlerInnengruppe Stadtwerkstatt O.K-Centrum für Gegenwartskunst Festival der Regionen Planungen von anderen Initiativen, wie Architekturforum Oberösterreich, ars electronica oder Europäischer Kulturmonat Linz 1998, bei denen ich temporär konzeptionell mitgearbeitet habe, werden an passender Stelle eingeflochten. Alle von mir beschriebenen Projekte wurden selbstverständlich in Kooperation und Diskurs mit KollegInnen konzipiert und aufgebaut. Am schwierigsten ist ein personelles Festmachen von Leistungen und Aufgaben bei der Stadtwerkstatt, da bei dieser eine kollektive Vorgangsweise in allen Bereichen stets Programm war. Doch auch beim OK und dem Festival der Regionen ist eine eindeutige Zuordnung zum Teil schwer möglich. Deshalb bitte ich im vorhinein alle KollegInnen um Nachsicht, wenn sie an bestimmten Stellen nicht in der ihnen zukommenden Weise genannt werden. Abschliessend möchte ich Gerhard Dirmoser, Herbert Lachmayer, Gertrude Plöchl, Georg Ritter, Christa Schneebauer und Martin Sturm für inhaltliche Diskussionen in den letzten Jahrzehnten
