Wagon Wheel

admin — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 19:00:42 +0000

audio-visual environment / 2011 / 360° video projection

‘The Wagon Wheel Project’ researches interferences between filming, perception and projection. The project is inspired by the nature and limits of visual perception. The ‘Wagon Wheel Effect’ is a visual effect that occurs when one observes rotating objects at high speeds: through the slowness of our perception, the wheel seemingly stops at a certain speed, and starts to rotate backwards.

in collaboration with Arno Scheper

Wolfgang Bittner [ AT ] arbeitet im Spannungsfeld zwischen bildender Kunst und neuen Medien. Dabei bilden Fragestellungen zum Verhältnis zwischen Mensch und Technologie, sowie visueller Wahrnehmung und Repräsentation einen konzeptuellen Rahmen. Im Prozess von Zergliederung und Neuordnung der konstituierenden Elemente eines Mediums entstehen neue Bezüge im Verhältnis zwischen Werk, Welt und Betrachter.

Präsentation von fotografischen Prints, Installationen und Videoarbeiten auf zahlreichen Ausstellungen und Festivals im In- und Ausland.

Studium in Experimentelle Gestaltung [ Kunstuniversität Linz / Mag. art 2006 ], Theater-, Film- und Medienwissenschaften [ Universität Wien ], Medieninformatik [ TU Wien ], ArtScience [ Royal Academy of Arts, Den Haag / MA 2009 ].
