sosEINdrücke

multiple typographic installations in urban and rural spaces

2023

“sosEINdrücke” is a syllaBLEnding of Sosein (en. essence) and Eindrücke (en. impressions). These site- and project-specific interventions accompanied ten program points of the La Strada Festival in summer 2023, running like a red thread through the festival’s locations. Each installation examined written language through the lens of set theory, uncovering words hidden within other words—unexpected coexistences that formed surprising, sometimes dramatic, sometimes humorous mini-scenarios. These discoveries sparked associations and highlighted the essence of each project they accompanied. “sosEINdrücke” touched different aspects of the 2023 program theme “paradise”. (heaven's) door opened (or may be stays closed) in “parzipaTORisch” (en. participatory / DOOR). Transcendence, meditative mood and slowing-down came inside the “ZeitaBLAUf” (en. passage of time / BLUE) through the sky blue and the visitors were invited to find the whale in the forest (de. Wal = en. whale; de. Wald = en. woods; forest).

My Blog
challengedgames.blogspot.co.at

The CHAlleNGED GAMES blog was conceived with the hope to stimulate divergence thinking and challenge the viewer to rethink one's routines and shift his/her perspective on the status quo.

The blog was initially dedicated to the CHAlleNGED GAMES series and seeks for extended meaning in playing and its relation to aspects of human existence and production.

As with the time I started to experiment with another system - the language, to apply mathematical logic and seek patterns in words, in the last years my publications are mostly about this part of my work.

As a manner of artistic creation in many of my recent works I employ existing urban situations, objects, visuals, texts and just add often a small detail, which significantly changes their meaning and/or function.

St.art book includes art works in the period 2004-2010, some still in progress at the time and some as ideas developed during 2010. The selection is made to guide the viewer through an artistic process that lead to the birth of ideas such as Space NRGZers and Dadissuasori.

The book ends with a couple of blank pages, which are to e filled in with sketches and ideas for new works employing the same approach.
