Frau Sammer
Frau Sammer

A very old lady with dementia, Ms. Sammer was born in Graz an der Mur in 2016. It's about everyday neighborhood conflicts, hipster cults and sometimes even love. With synth sounds, electric bass, two voices, rap and assi-sacral hymns the four Sammers show themselves shrill and quiet, virtuosic and virtual, amateurish and absolutely professional.

Furthermore, Deep Space 8K presents challenging infrastructure to media artists.

LIT Exhibition

While art and science once fed from a common source, the two disciplines were steered in separate directions at the end of the Renaissance. The rise of media art in the mid-20th century marks a turning point in this divergent development. Technological and scientific achievements were absorbed by art and advanced to become the raw material of aesthetic expression.
