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. >> FULL CV
→ 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. >> FULL STATEMENT

endless_song#1
→ Networked sculpture, choir for 6 mobile devices 
■ A ritual machine: How would a group form and interact that communicates wordlessly, organizing itself into a collective presence through triggering individual and autonomous voices of a choir? / 2025

gestures – (songs of algorithm)
→ Networked sculpture, artistic research, prints
■ A modular, scale-able monument for mobiles, desktop, or large scale white-cube settings. Various audio-visuals bundled via one smart contract into a modular installation / 2023 – 2026
My networked sculpture surfaces - songs of algorithm is an example of an artwork which is not designed for a specific viewing situation. It is adaptive and scale-able and can be shown within white cube settings but also in any social gathering as long as at least two devices (and the audiovisuals) are present. >> READ MORE

︎ Homeostasis – The Ability to Perceive Walls
Artificial Intelligence, Experiment, Animationfilm, Ink-Jet Prints / 2020
>> Creating a perceptive System. An attepmt to simulate individuality
The questions are: Could individualitybe an effect of interaction?And far more specualtive: could even consciousness be an effect of interaction? Generally: Why do we project human characteristics on non human entities?
