Image storm
In the early days of wireless telegraphy and radio there were sightings of ghosts in the electronic esoteric ether. Are their modern successors also to be found in our digital technologies of image making? For Thomas Steiner at least, something strange lurks behind every image. Is there something that has an existence in an image before it is created, and what is created in the process? In observing Manuel Knapp’s immaterial afterimages, or ghost images, it is impossible to resist the impression – because there is less unease in interpreting than in perceiving – that there is “something” between the lines, which only becomes clear at a certain frequency. Where does interpretation end, and taking on a life of its own begin? Didi Bruckmayer interprets György Ligeti's spherical “Lux Aeterna” with the help of auto generative imaging techniques; in the process however does what you hear become what you see? Lia’s ephemeral ornamentalism is also in tension (emphasising it, encompassing it, in contact with it?) with the tonal landscape created by the musicians collective, @c. Michaela Schwentner visualises Paul Clovel's compositions as a dancing, endlessly interwoven band. Siegfried A. Fruhauf seeks an interpretational open space and finds xenomorphic life in the scratched film of B Pictures. Dietmar Brehm cannibalises his own filmic work as a dance of death, of repetition and difference.
