"Animato. The work of art in the era of its electronic manipulatability"
lecture for the Symposium - abstract

Report on an artistic project: Audiovisual paraphrases on a painting of the Hungarian artist and Bauhaus teacher László Moholy-Nagy from the year 1923, his constructivist composition K XVII (owned by the Kunsthalle Bielefeld). The live performance of Animato was first performed as the opening of the International László Moholy-Nagy Symposium in Bielefeld in the autumn of 1995.
The project was initiated by myself and performed by an interdisciplinary group of actors/scientists/musicians from higher education institutions in Bielefeld (the Academy of Fine Arts and the University). In Budapest, following my introduction, I will be showing it on video (13 min.).
