Claudia Larcher
This guest
lecture is part of the seminar Video-Related Media at the Department of Digital Arts.
Claudia Larcher is an artist, filmmaker and AI researcher whose work explores the materiality
of data, ecological futures and bias-aware artificial intelligence. Working across video, algorithmic animation, collage,
and installation, she critically addresses contemporary image cultures and contributes to international debates on digital
humanism and post-human visual aesthetics.
As part of the seminar Video-Related Media the session
will focus on her moving image works and provide insight into her artistic processes.
Larcher’s work has been widely
exhibited internationally, including: Recontemporary, Turin (IT), Anthology Film Archives, New York (US), Ars Electronica
Festival, Linz (AT), HOW Art Museum, Shanghai (CH), and NIROX, South Africa. She has received numerous awards, among them
the Austrian Art Prize, the Beate Sirota Award, and the Jury Prize at Rencontres Internationales Science & Cinéma Marseille.
Video-Related Media is an artistic seminar in the Class of Digital Art at the University of Applied
Arts Vienna. It explores strategies and methods developed by artists working with video and film, and how these can be translated
into one's own artistic practice. Through screenings, discussions, analyses, and guest lectures, the seminar engages with
contemporary video art, fosters a critical understanding of the moving image, and supports the development of individual artistic
works.
The guest lecture takes place in cooperation between the Department of Digital Arts and the Ursula Blickle
Video Archive.
The lecture will be held in spoken English.
