REVISITED
Markus Oberndorfer (AT)
Markus Oberndorfer’s multimedia-project REVISITED started in 2015 with a desire to question the medial parameters of 360 degree video. The artist draws attention to the fundamental shifts that took place between 360 degree video and the two main media of our time — photography and film.

Formal Structures
Patrick Fabian Panetta (DE)
When watching Patrick Panetta’s films, their simplicity seems as banal as it is disturbing and hypnotic. Filmed off the computer screen, Panetta’s retro-constructivist photoshop files are organized in layers and animated by pressing the arrow buttons on the keyboard. A blue square moves up, a purple circle moves towards another purple circle, a red triangle approaches a black rectangle. Each film’s soundtrack represents what the artist was listening to on the radio when filming the moving shapes.

Tomomi Adachi (JP), Andreas Dzialocha (DE), Marcello Lussana (IT)
Voices from AI in Experimental Improvisation is a project by Tomomi Adachi, Andreas Dzialocha and Marcello Lussana.
