ABOUT ARTIST TALK:
Located at the ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Bernd Lintermann has over 15 years experience of production in the field of art and media. Established by the Foundation’s Director Jeffrey Shaw, the Institute for Visual Media has a strong focus on the development of alternative formats to cinema, such as real-time interactive installations and projection environments. Lintermann has realized various productions for different contexts such as Virtual Reality installations for museums, stage performances and operas, dome projections for entertainment parks, and stereoscopic projections for music concerts. In order to meet the needs of a professional production process and to push the limits of the creative process in media art, he has developed his own technologies that implement genuinely new concepts, which have served as the basis for several major art works by internationally renowned artists like Bill Viola and the Wooster Group. Assuming various different roles he took part in the production of three of the works, UTOPIA TRIUMPHANS, THERE IS STILL TIME .. BROTHER and SCENARIO, which will be displayed on the panoramic screen currently installed at the Chronus Art Center. This talk will provide insights into these and several other productions by Lintermann in their cultural context.
