Curriculum Vitae 
The Viennese Georg Eckmayr is a multidisciplinary artist, researcher and lecturer. He studied digital art at the class of Peter Weibel under whose supervision he also completed and defended his doctoral thesis on technical images. 

→ Art: My art (media installations & pure digital work), operates with contrasts and ambivalences, with contradiction as a productive force. The focus of my work lies on the entanglement of physical and machine-based realms and its effects on social & identity practices. In many of my works my aesthetic gestures are embedded in scientific & research approaches.
→ Research:
My research explores digital culture with a focus on digital art, as well as the hybrid systems of perception and knowledge shaped by digital technology. I use cross disciplinary approaches incorporating systems, affect, critical theory, feminist epistemology and others combined with a set of artistic methods.
