EGBERT MITTELSTÄDT
Cologne-based artist Egbert Mittelstädt's videos, photographs
and installations delve into the principle of time and have won
him awards including at the European Media Art Festival, the Institut
National de l'Audiovisuel, the Backup Festival and a Digital New
Art Award. His image processing makes it possible to show movement
not as we know, but in a slowly sliding, continuous float of patterns,
structures and courses. His "Slit-Scan" method neglects
the constants of space: movement is stretched and pulled out of
shape while still remaining recognizable and time puts herself in
concrete terms. His cooperation with Biosphere developed spontaneously
at a Biosphere concert and a simultaneous presentation of his video
work in Cologne. The two artists have appeared together since the
end of 2004. Mittelstädts visuals work in magnificent harmony
with Biosphere's music, creating a remarkable synthesis of video
art show and music concert.
Egbert Mittelstädt performed with Biosphere for 23five at the
Recombinant Media Labs in 2007.
