about Gebhard Sengmüller

Gebhard Sengmüller is an artist working in the field of media technology, based in Vienna, Austria. Since 1992, he has developed projects and installations focussing on the deep background of electronic media; retroactively changing the timeline of media history; dissecting and recombining media technologies; and constructing autogenerative systems and networks. His work has been shown extensively in Europe, the Americas and Asia, among others in venues such as Ars Electronica Linz, the Venice Biennale, the Institute of Contemporary Arts London, Postmasters Gallery NYC, the Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago, the microwave Festival Hong Kong, or the InterCommunication Center Tokyo.

At the Kunstuniversität Linz, Gebhard Sengmüller teaches two classes in media archaeology at the [Interface Cultures] programme.

In addition to his artistic work described on this website, Gebhard Sengmüller has also been working as an architectural photographer since 1992. [www.fotosengmueller.com]
