POP
02:09
2015
Music/sound: Waylon Thornton
Someone who cannot sing is a Pop singer. Someone who is a bad musician is a Pop musician and someone who makes Pop art is a poor painter. This is a Pop film about Pop with Pop colors, Pop Music, Pop TV Screen, Pop Fashion and a homage to Georges Méliès. Starring my family people (wife, father, uncle, grandfather and his father, grandmother) it was poorly conceived and pimped with bad Pop Music to be a real Pop Art Video.

IDESIA – AIN’T OVER
03:06
2017
Music/sound: Sophie Dimitroff, Daniel Oldham
Co-Director: Daniel Oldham
Animation: Kelsey Boncato
Assist Camera: Lena Dimitroff, Phyllis Dimitroff
idesia – AIN’T OVER is an experimental music video of consciousness through indigo hues; a young woman discovers strength in an internal world while daydreaming on a train. Animated dreamscapes overlaid on dyed canvas merge geometric and organic forms. Combined with layered analog synths, bass, and ethereal vocals, idesia – AIN’T OVER evokes themes of persistence, yearning, and memory.

Lichtinstallation, Österreichisches Parlament
Waltraut Coopers Licht- und Klanginstallationen sind Reaktionen auf architektonische Gegebenheiten von öffentlichen und privaten Orten. Das Licht als künstlerisches Medium von Waltraut Cooper akzentuiert architektonische Elemente und ermöglicht durch bewusste Setzung neue Raumwahrnehmungen. Licht wird zum Träger abstrakter Begrifflichkeiten und Vorstellungswelten wie in der interaktiven Installation “Date” oder der “Regenbogen Trilogie”. Waltraut Cooper hat zahlreiche dauerhafte und temporäre Installationen im privaten, öffentlichen und musealen Raum realisiert. Ihre poetischen Werke bilden sichtbare Zeichen im urbanen Raum.

ART EDUCATION
00:47
2013
ART EDUCATION ist ein Film, der direkt auf 35-mm Film gezeichnet bzw. gestempelt wurde. Dias, die aus dem gängigen Lehrfundus von Kunstinstitutionen stammen, werden abgespielt und wurden direkt auf den Filmträger montiert. Ein Kopf spuckt in wahlloser Reihenfolge den Lehrkanon der Kunstgeschichte aus. Eine ironische Frage, wie Kunstarbeiten zur gesellschaftlich anerkannten und tradierten Norm werden.

INFINITE JEST
03:59
2017
INFINITE JEST exhumes the visual and auditory components of our culture and reconstitutes them not as the products of the entertainment industry, but as the exuberant and bold representations of human persistence and joy within a dying universe. The uncannily familiar cast of characters, relics of a fabricated and imagined America, are set adrift in the subconscious mind of its creator, and materialize in full color on the screen.

ZURICH 2.0
03:07
2015
Music/sound: Niki Reiser
Immersive journey through a digitally manipulated city: Zurich. The artist Dirk Koy presents an interaction between reality and its digital reproduction. Through the technique of photogrammetry and animation, this 360 film is like falling through a glitch and entering in a fragmented and hyper digitalized new dimension of the city.

Video, performance, sound: Isabel Pérez del Pulgar
The structure of dual thinking causes the components that order it to be established in a bipolar way: spirit – nature, mind – body, white – black, man – woman, true – false. A hierarchy is created where meanings, in absolute terms, correspond to the good and bad, to the positive and negative. In this way identities are constructed under assumed biological differentiators derived from their nature. It has also been constructed with ideological presuppositions. A sociocultural construction that establishes a social order perpetuating the dominance of one group over another. The fragmentation of the image creates a kaleidoscopic vision that reflects, as a mirror, the inner gaze full of subjectivities, doubts, questions and fears towards one’s identity.

P_A
03:41
2017
P_A is video from the darkvoice project.
Darkvoice is the obfuscation of language. Darkvoice is the code-talker that no one understands because his language never existed. Darkvoice is the ultimate self-censorship, the undecipherable message. Darkvoice is the sound of the new world order, the private language of the net.

ELASTIC RECURRENCE
02:02
2017
From all directions gravity pulls on the shards of a breaking dinner plate. While the pieces of the plate expand into space, elastic strings try to draw them back together. A self-replicating cycle of falling and retracting follows from the dead center position of each piece. Even though this expansion of matter appears to be never ending, the new connections seem to unify all the fragments into a recollection of the initial form.

EXTRAPOLATE
02:00
2016
This work was created with support from “Animation Artist in Residence Tokyo 2016” part of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan (Bunka-cho) “Project to invite overseas creators of media arts 2016” and the Mondriaan Fund.
In this hand drawn animation a line is being extrapolated through a grid. When the line surpasses the boundaries of the grid, the process spreads to and reflects on its surroundings. Beyond each boundary the extrapolation of movement is causing deformation in a systematic but speculative way.

2010
The video performance THIS IS MY VOICE shows a stuttering chorus. Ten choreographically identical speech performances are shown simultaneously. The irritation caused by the stuttering sound results in a new onomatopoetic sound.

WEISSWÄSCHE
02:09
2015
Zur mangelnden Wertschätzung von Arbeit, Wissen und Kreativität wollte ich ein Dramolett fabrizieren. Die Waschmaschine half mir dabei, denn einige Geräusche klingen wie Schüsse, andere wie rauschender Wildbach und rotierende Maschinen:
WEISSWÄSCHE:
Ihr Trendfabrikanten – mit eurem Investorensubventionierungsprogramm – den Trugbildregisseuren – Ausgrenzungsvorbildern – der Fernbedienungswahlfreiheit – der Kompetenzvernichtungsmaschinerie – dem Verdummungstraining – den Transparenzvernebelungsgeneratoren …
Ihr betreibt Innovationsdiebstahl – zeichnet Bewußtseinsverbildungsapps aus – bestellt Versklavungsexpertisen – und ordnet das Mitbestimmungsbegräbnis an – plus Umverteilungssterbehilfe.
Das alles funktioniert mit Erpressungslegalisierung – im Ausbeutungsstandard – dank Schuldengenerierungspolitik.
Das Grundrechtsaushebelungsgeschäft – blüht im Informationsverweigerungsdiktat – und fördert das Datenspionagegeschäft.
Die Finanzstrategenreligion – verteilt den Investitionsentscheidungsvirus – und produziert Arbeitslosenmaximierung – bei Korruptionsbekämpfungsstop – und Infrastrukturdezimierung.

Das folgende Kapitel mit Arbeiten von Studierenden am Institut für Malerei und Animationsfilm entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien und wurde von Nikolaus Jantsch kuratiert.

2015
Music/sound: Florentin Scheicher
Kamera: Dominik Leski
Die Animation ist die Visualisierung eines intensiven und nie verstandenen Kindheitstraums. Es geht um Größenunterschiede, die wir uns nicht vorstellen können. Eine Konfrontation, die uns zeigt, wie unbedeutend wir sind im Vergleich zu dem, was sich außerhalb des irdischen Lebens abspielt.

Music/sound: Ralph Wakolbinger, Wolfram Leitner
Compositing: Ernst Miesgang
Colour by: Mario Seidl
In Anlehnung an Gilles Deleuzes Konzept der Wunschmaschinen sucht der Held der Geschichte Anschluss. In einer technifizierten Realität wollen Kabel, Steckverbindungen, Drähte, Brüste und Münder an die Weltmaschine angeschlossen sein. Im Wunsch existiert nicht nur der Mangel, sondern das Reale: das Reale ist nicht unmöglich, in ihm ist und wird vielmehr alles möglich.

ALBERT
07:00
2016
Sound Design: Philipp Feichtinger
Director, Script, Animation: Felix Weisz
Editing: Elisa Maier
Synchron: Sophie Vitovec, Markus Freistätter
Albert makes a composed impression. He wears a tie and shirt, from which neatly trimmed chest hair somewhat playfully flashes through. A tribal tattoo decorates his chest. It is large enough to hint at an audacity oriented on the mainstream, and thereby small enough to avoid seriously affronting anyone. In overall appearance, Albert is a slightly spidery computer-animated figure, who moves through life against a – likewise computer-animated – structurally-minimalist background.
Albert’s world is black, white, and very gray. He diligently waters the plants on his rooftop terrace before going to work. At this point, the protagonist´s other side opens up as he tenderly says goodbye to his pregnant wife after having a meal together. By profession, Albert is a torturer. He is someone who reproduces everyday movements in his professional life, and vice versa. The watering can thus proves to be not only an object for sprinkling water during one´s free time, but also a tool for waterboarding – the same applies to the pliers, which Albert uses to pinch tomatoes off of the local plant as well as the fingers of his victims. Albert listens to Händel, displaying a stoic professionalism as he forces confessions from people. One of the strengths of this animation movie is that director Felix Weisz does not even rudimentarily provide the motives for Albert’s choice of professions. This refusal abandons viewers in humanistic perplexity – nothing helps, not even the philosophical books that Albert, his wife, and a work colleague are studying.
