UNTITLED ("LIGHTBOX"), 2014
TWO SUPERIMPOSED PAINTED SIEVES MADE OF POLYESTER POLYAMIDE CREATE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AGGREGATE STATES OF THE PAINTED SURFACE DEPENDING ON NATURAL OR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
MULTI-PART GLASS OBJECT STELZHAMMER SCHOOL, 2011
DIGITALLY MANIPULATED PHOTOGRAPHS OF BOOK SPINES FROM THE ARTIST'S PRIVATE LIBRARY CREATE A BAR CODE, ACTING AS A VIRTUAL REFERENCE TO THE COMMUNICATION OF KNOWLEDGE BY WAY OF BOOKS AND OTHER PRINTED MEDIA IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION RANSHOFEN CASTLE, 2013
DIGITALLY MANIPULATED PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE HISTORICAL FRESCOS, PAINTED OVER WITH A LAYER OF SPRAY AND OIL PAINTS, ON A CURVED ALUMINIUM STRUCTURE ACTS AS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE DESTROYED ORIGINAL VAULT
"THRESHOLDS" OK CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY ART, 1996
A TEXT ON COGNITIVE THEORY, ENCODED IN BRAILLE AND TRANSFERRED TO METAL PLATES, IS IMPLANTED IN VARIOUS TRANSITIONALLY SENSITIVE THRESHOLDS IN THE FLOOR THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. THE DISCOURSE ON THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN INHERENT AND LEARNED HUMAN COGNITIVE ABILITIES ACTS AS A STIMULANT FOR THE PERCEPTION OF ART IN THIS ENVIRONMENT
FAÇADE DESIGN WISSENSTURM LINZ, 2004
INTERACTIVE LIGHT INSTALLATION MADE OF MOVABLE LED SCREENS ON THE FAÇADE OF THE TOWER, CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS OF THE INSTITUTIONS SITUATED WITHIN THE BUILDING (PUBLIC LIBRARY AND COLLEGE).
VARYING TEXT SEGMENTS ARE PROJECTED FROM THESE INSTITUTIONS INTO THE CITY'S PUBLIC SPACE. A GRAPHICALLY STYLISED, SEMI-TRANSPARENT DEPICTION OF THE ALPHABET ON THE GLASS LIFT TOWER DISRUPTS THE VIEW OF THE CITYSCAPE THROUGH THE GLASS FAÇADE AS THE LIFT MOVES UP AND DOWN
PAVILION UPPER AUSTRIAN HORTICULTURAL SHOW, 2007
A SYMPOSIUM ON ART IN PUBLIC SPACES WAS HELD DURING THE UPPER AUSTRIAN HORTICULTURAL SHOW. NINE ARTISTS WERE INVITED TO DEVELOP SITE-SPECIFIC ART PROJECTS FOR THE SHOW AREA, SPILLING OVER INTO THE URBAN SPACE, TO CAPTURE THE FUNCTIONS AND SOCIAL UTILIZATION OF A SPECIFIC LOCATION.
THE PAVILION REPRESENTS A CONFINED NEGATIVE SPACE IN CONTRADISTINCTION TO THE VISUAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE HORTICULTURAL SHOW, DEPRIVING THE VISITORS OF A VIEW OF THIS ENVIRONMENT. THUS PERCEPTION IS REDIRECTED, THE SKY AND CLOUDS AS INTANGIBLE, EPHEMERAL ELEMENTS COME INTO FOCUS, MERGING WITH THE NON-REPRESENTATIONAL ART ON THE WALLS OF THIS SPACE
LED STELES TGW WELS, 2004
CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING NUMBER CODES ON THE LED STELES TRANSFER THE INTERNAL WORK PROCESSES OF THE EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY COMPANY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING. THE RHYTHMIC CHANGES TO THE CODES REPRESENT PROCEDURES OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS IN REAL TIME
INSTALLATION OBERBANK MUNICH, 2002
THE BOW-SHAPED ARRANGEMENT OF SMALL MIRRORED METAL PLATES REFLECTS THE LIGHT AND COLOUR OF PASSING TRAFFIC INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. IN THIS WAY THE STATIC OBJECT AWAKENS THE IMPRESSION OF FLOWING MOVEMENT
LIGHT INSTALLATION UPPER AUSTRIAN STATE MUSEUM, GALERIE IM STIFTER-HAUS, 2000
THE EXHIBITION SPACE IS TRANSFORMED INTO A COLOUR SPACE BY MEANS OF PAINTED LUCITE PANELS IN THE WINDOW REVEALS. THIS MINIMALIST INTERFERENCE CAUSES A SHIFT IN PERCEPTION OF THIS WHITE-CUBE ROOM TO EVOKE IN THE VISITORS ALTERED STATES OF SENSITIVITY (DOMESTIC HAPPINESS, ROMANCE, EMOTIONAL SECURITY)
