Artists from Hungary and from outside Hungary are invited to do a presentation
and have a discussion with the audience. The aim of the events is to
introduce contemporary video artists (from and outside our country) and to make
the audiences acquainted with video art as such and also to nurture this field
of art.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Century Gothic";"> One is
going to meet a couple of new changes this year. There has been changes in the
structure of the presentations and the venues are going to be different too.
Video Presentations are moving from last year’s location the Labor (1053
Budapest, Képíró u. 6.) to the spacious rooms of <b>Műcsarnok </b>(1146 Dózsa
György út 37.)</span></p>

<br>
After studying "experimental visual design" he is working in the
fields of still and moving images and interactive arts.<br>
Besides this serious pursuit he was busy with commercial stuff for a couple of
years as a designer and director in advertising.<br>
As a member of Ars Electronica Futurelab in the late 90´s he was responsible
for numerous projects in conception, creating and curating.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Century Gothic";">Since
five years he is part of the developing- and administration-team for the branch
of studies "timebased and interactive media" at the University for
Art and Design in Linz, where he is teaching as well.<br>
<br>
His work is dealing with diverse phenomenons in context of manipulation in
media with a strong focus on different aspects of "time": changes in
perception through manipulation of temporal structures and intermediate spaces
of time.<br>
Researching paradox aspects within dynamic systems and their counterparts,
there is one big interest that is connecting his very diverse works: the
question of what is happening "inbetween"...<br>
e.g. in between the single frames of a film, in between the visible and
the invisible, in between a body and the space it is moving through, in between
the moment of forgetting and total oblivion, etc.</span></p>
