Gastvortrag: MONOCOLOR

The audio-visual artist MONOCOLOR will show some of his recent works created with TouchDesigner, which were recently shown at his first museum exhibition in Krems and at media art festivals in Montréal and Seoul.

MONOCOLOR alias Marian Essl is a Vienna based audiovisual artist. He explores the interrelations between sound and image in both performance-based and installation-based works. His fully generative, algorithmically created imagery oscillates between fluid, organic textures and rigid structures. He focuses on the relation between sound, image, light and space, aiming to create highly immersive audiovisual universes. His work has been shown in various contexts around the world. In 2020, he was awarded the Japan Media Arts Festival New Face Award for his audiovisual fulldome performance Latent Space that was created during a residency at the Société des arts technologiques (SAT) in Montréal. In 2024, he opened his large-scale solo exhibition *SCREEN—SPACE* in Krems, Austria.
