Painter/actionist Hermann Nitsch, one of the most important contemporary artists, is making a guest appearance in Deep Space. All the highpoints of Nitsch’s oeuvre – Viennese actionism, his famous splatter paintings, the Orgiastic Mystery Theater—have triggered heated discussions. At Ars Electronica, the artist—who has otherwise had nothing to do will digital media—will present a few of his works in digitized and highly enlarged format, whereby the high-definition projections reveal structures and details that can’t be seen with the naked eye.

ATTENTION: Seating is limited. Seat reservation tickets will be available at the Ars Electronica Center Infodesk beginning one hour before the performance.
