Storycase
Telling stories with objects and augmented reality
Storycase is an AR-research-project by the artist group gold extra that artistically explores the narrative possibilities of AR with real objects: it tells stories of 5 objects found in the urban realm dealing with themes such as finding, losing, throwing away and reusing.

The presentation is explaining how I use new media tools in an improvisational way at a spatial and time-based level to overcome the issue of limited real-time expressiveness of certain tools. New media arts with digital technologies differ from other art forms in the creation process.

Working with Motion Capture and AI as tools for Live Animation
I want to talk about my own way of using (and mis-using) technology in my work and why I employ it as a tool that represents the topic I want to talk about. Spawning from that, I want to touch on topics of newer technology like MotionCapture and AI, and the (ethical, political and anthropological) questions that come up when using them in combination with more traditional animation techniques.

24 Hour Clocks, Metamorphosing the Proletariat into the Precariat
This proposal focuses on a 24 hour surveillance time-lapse of the iconic Flinders Street Railway Station in Melbourne. This work is related to a 16mm documentary on the station, On Time, made by the Commonwealth Film Unit in 1953, 70 years earlier.

Embodied Ice:
Beyond the digital call and response
Animation is finding a comfortable home in interactive works in which a viewer’s input via digital sensors triggers an output of audio-visual content. But beyond a simple call and response, how can the viewer be coaxed into a more complicated relationship with the artwork?
Symposium: Fr, 21 April @ University of Applied Arts Vienna
Surprisingly or not, animating directly under the camera has not lost in popularity with the rise of digital animation techniques. Could it be, that the need for tactility in the animation process is the reason for this? In this presentation, I explore my artistic work in relation to the role the body plays in the creative process.
Symposium: Fr, 21 April @ University of Applied Arts Vienna
This twenty-minute presentation covers the dregs, so to speak, giving an insight "behind the scenes" and about my thoughts that underpin and motivate my always analogue 16mm Expanded Cinema performances.

From the "Erased de Kooning Drawing" (1953) by Robert Rauschenberg to being erased by the technology
Robert Rauschenberg was fascinated by technology and created his artworks, that were often hybrids of various media, along with engineering. One important element of his artistic strategy was the use of the 'erasure' technique.
