Information
A decision of exemplary status was made concerning the commissioning of art projects for public space in Lower Austria in 1991. For the first time, an attempt was made to award artists commissions for specific concepts in categories of interior design usually associated with aesthetic issues but seldom with artistic ones.
'Computergrafiken' (Computer Graphics) were designed specially for the wards. With the aid of the graphic software, apparently endless successions of new originals and individual images are created from familiar material: a water glass, a wooden chair, from sunshades, a rose in full bloom and the rolled down blind of a shop. Elements of images are partially removed and reduced excerpts are shown with monochrome coloured surfaces. It is a different reality, a reality that the more familiar one only hints at.
