Department of DIGITAL ARTS / Ruth Schnell
A large part of my work is based on the discovery, appropriation and development of new, mainly interactive tools.
Learning new hardware and software and experimenting with setups and spatial implementation
act as catalysts for artistic ideas and projects.

Since more than two decades media-artist, director, choreographer and composer Klaus Obermaier
creates innovative works with new media in performing arts, music and installations,
highly acclaimed by critics and audience. His inter-media performances and artworks
are shown at festivals and theaters throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America and Australia.
Many of
his projects, such as D.A.V.E, APPARITION, LE SACRE DU PRINTEMPS, DANCING HOUSE or EGO, are considered groundbreaking and
genre-defining for the development of new artistic forms of human interaction with digital
systems.
Klaus Obermaier is visiting professor at the University IUAV of Venice/Italy and
at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca/Romania
teaching interactive arts and performances. He taught as an adjunct professor
for composition at the Webster University Vienna and held courses for choreography and
new media at the Accademia Nazionale di Danza di Roma.
