Statement #05: Ulrich Nausner — The Visitor

Performance, June 27, 2019, 7 pm
Duration approx. 20 minutes

Taking his text-based series Hypertext Drawings as his starting point, Nausner has developed new works for Kunstraum Lakeside that lay bare today’s routine process of searching and finding information on the internet while editing and restructuring it in various directions. Three essential elements that shape this activity are the text editor as tool, the simplified search screen, and monochrome areas that alert the eye to linked information in the text—hyperlinks—through a specific hue. These are contrasted with comprehensive online research, which is edited live during the performance and deconstructed as an audio play, whereby the media conditions for this search are exhausted along a variety of trajectories.

Ulrich Nausner (b. 1980 in Austria) lives and works in Vienna.
