Das universelle Datenwerk
datenwerk : mensch

Richard Kriesche (AT)

Brucknerhaus
07.09. to 11.09. from 10:00

Kriesche’s experimental arrays decipher the human being as a work of data, and life, according to this view, is the processing of data.
For Kriesche, this biogenetic process constitutes the basis of the artistic process. The results are worlds of reality and image based upon codes and constructed from them.
With this approach, Kriesche takes up the grand idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk and applies it back to humanity itself. In the form of the “universal datawork,” though, it is no longer committed to the sensory experience of artistic spaces or the virtual experiences of multimedia techno-spaces but rather the information processing processes of life itself.

Richard Kriesche (A), born 1940, worked as professor already in the 60s within the area of audiovisual media. In 1969 he founded the art society “pool” and four years later the media gallery “poolerie” for photography, film and video. Since the end of the 80s Richard Kriesche held several teaching posts, among others for the Technical University Vienna and the École supérieure des beaux arts in Paris. Kriesche serves an an expert in several European commissions.
