Vienna Contemporary 2023

Christiane’s Peschek approach to a new form of art.

On the summer break I tried to go to as many cultural events as possible, while traveling through Austria. One of those events it was Vienna Contemporary during September, it is an art event where contemporary galleries around Europe present curated artwork from contemporary artists, to be honest the ambience of the event felt posh and exclusive, but nevertheless it was interesting.

Personally, the most fascinating exhibition was a digital art piece THE FETCH, by Christiane Peschek in collaboration with META & MAK (Museum of Applied Sciences), exploring the connection between art & the digital work. It was a 10 min VR experience mixed with sound where visitors encounter with the digital representation of Peschek’s aura.

I would try to put into works how it looked, graphically it was a world of spheres with calming music on the background, it had gradients that depending on the sound moved and generated new figures, it was a relaxing and mystic experience. It reminded me like the art pieces of Refik Anadol in the MOMA, where he creates huge digital paintings generated by data.

I found interesting how even art events are collaborating with tech companies to create digital experiences, maybe this is the evolution of art.
