Along Borders of Perception

What If

Tina Frank & Alexandra Murray-Leslie present an immersive audio-visual installation as part of Klanglichtfestival 2019 at Künstlerhaus – Halle für Kunst und Medien, Graz.

2019 / klanglicht.at

Inspired by Donna J. Haraway’s theories on potential ways of living together, the two artists transform the Künstlerhaus into a glass habitat for speculative and political considerations. What does our environment look like if it were only inhabitated by mosses and ferns? How would our everyday life be if detached from partriarchal structures? What if feminists ruled the world?

Wien in Zahlen

Stories of the internet of things

Students from the masters programme Visual Communication worked on future situations in which networked devices take action, depending on different scenarios about data control and ownership.

2018 / ufg.at

Imagine you live in the year 2030. The Internet of Things is in full swing and our world has developed into divergent social groups.

Students from the masters programme Visual Communication worked on future situations in which networked devices take action, depending on different scenarios about data control and ownership. We want to see how devices communicate with their users/owners in order to make decisions comprehensible and to reveal the hidden lives of such IoT black boxes. Log files deal with issues of privacy, transparency and participation. Each project provides a lens to examine the social, ethical, and aesthetic implications of the interdependence of society and technology in relation to a near-future era of connected things.

A showcase of connected objects in different settings, dealing with possible, preferable, and undesirable futures.

Design artefacts are always manifestations of inherent needs, wishes, anxieties, and values of their creators, developers and future users. These projects investigate the hidden values and needs of artefacts and propose an alternative visual narration.

Politics of Remembrance (POREM)

2018 / porem.wien

Das Forschungsprojekt Politics of Remembrance (POREM) untersucht die Politik der Erinnerung an die politische Gewalt von Austrofaschismus und Nationalsozialismus, wie sie in Wien zwischen 1995 und 2015 an öffentlichen Orten sichtbar geworden ist. Erinnerungspolitik bedeutet Auseinandersetzung um Deutungsmacht und die Nutzung und Aneignung öffentlicher Räume. Das Projekt wurde vom Wiener Wissenschafts- und Technologiefonds WWTF und dem Nationalfonds der Republik Österreich für Opfer des Nationalsozialismus (Nationalfonds) finanziert.

POREM Forschungsteam: Walter Manoschek, Peter Pirker, Magnus Koch, Johannes Kramer, Mathias Lichtenwagner, Monika Palmberger, Philipp Rode, Eva Schwab, Institut für Staatswissenschaft, Universität Wien

20160815 (preview)

2016 / editionsmego.com

Do androids see phosphenes? The video 20160815 depicts patterns that androids might interpret as raw liquid crystals. Tina Frank processes imaginations that already have been envisioned in the early years of digital video art – but were not yet realised.

Todays world of images is superimposed by overbearing resolutions suggesting almost crystal clear and flawless images. The windows to the world of images are the glaring displays of our various devices and their LCDs – liquid crystal displays. Allowing the crystals to flow in conjunction with Peter Rehberg’s music, the video 20160815 sparkles like a charming roughness #againstallglossiness.
