ECODERMIS
Alejandra Marinaro (AR)

Ecodermis is an artwork that alludes to the skin as an organ connecting the human being with his environment, as it reflects the life, memory and sensations of each individual. At the same time, the skin is also what gives man part of his identity as a species and therefore allows him to coexist and differentiate himself from others.

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.
