An Illustrated Talk with Multimedia Artist Gebhard Sengmüller
Even before I had heard about the term “media archeology”,
I had been curious about the inner workings of film and television in my art practice.
In my
talk, I will discuss my moving image related projects, starting with TV Poetry from 1992 (an effort to create a stream of
auto generative text from TV programming) and Slide Movie from 2006 to Big Paul in 2017 (where I try to change the timeline
of TV technology).
Gebhard Sengmüller is an artist working in the field of media technology, currently based in
Vienna, Austria. Since 1992, he has been developing projects and installations focussing on the history of electronic media;
creating alternative ordering systems for media content; and constructing autogenerative networks. His work has been shown
extensively in Europe, the US and Asia, among others in venues such as Ars Electronica Linz, the Venice Biennale, the Institute
of Contemporary Arts London, Postmasters Gallery NYC, the Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago, microwave Festival Hong
Kong, or the ICC Center Tokyo.
