GRANULAR-SYNTHESIS was co-founded in 1991 in Austria by artists Kurt Hentschläger (1960) and Ulf Langheinrich (1960). In more than a decade they created monumental multimedia installations and performances including AREAL (1997–2004), FELD (2000), MODELL 5 (1994–2007), NOISEGATE (1998) and their latest performance POL (1998–2008). Figurative or abstract, immersive and monumental, sometimes interactive, their works were conceived in a theatrical approach and marked a new step in the aesthetic of perception. They toured worldwide in the most prestigious spaces and festivals. Several compilations of GRANULAR-SYNTHESIS' works have been released on DVDs and they received the first prize of the International Biennial in Nagoya in 1995 as well as stipendiums in Austria and the USA. Since 2003 the two artists are producing solo projects, but GRANULAR-SYNTHESIS' performances and installations are still presented worldwide. |
