Opening Featured Artist Elisabeth Schimana (AT) “Hidden Alliances” with live tape performance von Beatriz Ferreyra
Surprised by an alleged world without female artists in the field of electronic music/art, Elisabeth Schimana (AT) set out in the 1990s in search of a way. Projects such as portrait 01 – The Futurist, realized by Ö1 Kunstradio, led to a series of video portraits under the title IMAfiction after the founding of IMA Institute for Media Archaeology in 2005. 10 artists, pioneers of their time, tell a somewhat different story in the exhibition and together design an exciting network of relationships.
