KURT HENTSCHLÄGER
Kurt Hentschläger — New York-based Austrian artist Kurt Hentschläger creates audiovisual compositions, where audio and video are causing or actuating each other. The immersive nature of his work reflects on ancient cultural forms as well as the idea of the sublime.
Between 1992 and 2003 he worked collaboratively as a part of the duo Granular-Synthesis. Employing monumental projected images and towering sound environments, their multimedia performances and installations affected the viewer on both physical and emotional levels, pushing the limits of how much sensory information audiences can absorb.
A recipient of numerous prizes and large-scale commissions, he has represented Austria at the 2001 Venice Biennial and shown his work internationally for 2 decades. Recently his performance "Feed" has premiered at the 2005 Venice Theatre Biennial.
