monitor objects – the conversion of the screen
the objects consist partly of a housing made of cardboard, wood, plastic and other materials with integrated small monitors, and partly of medium-sized monitors covered by panels of various materials, which allow video clips to be seen through „windows“ that have been left open. the accompanying sounds can be played back either through headphones or loudspeakers.
the works were created with the intention of combining elements of visual art with video and sound material in order to expand conventional forms of representation and habits of perception of the different media.
the size and construction of the arrangements demand spatial proximity from the viewer and call for an examination of form and content.
some of the installations are thematic and allow the recipient to associate freely with the content presented, while others focus solely on the audiovisual experience. the short video clips correspond in content and form with the veneers and masks. together they result in complex creations.
the objects „water“ and „air“ were created in collaboration with the multimedia artist carmen kordas.
the object „cyclic transformations“ was created in collaboration with the artist christof wackernagel.
further works – partly with interactive functions – are in preparation.
