For the installation 'Pictures at an Exhibition', which is an homage to M. P. Mussorgsky, Spahn developed the 'Picture Disc', a transparent miniature picture based on chemical-magnetic experiments with liquid iron. Spahn's aesthetical approach focusses on the idea that analogue slide projections allow for uncovering (almost) invisible pictures that may even be performatively created in the very moment of their presentation. Also, by filming the slide projectors, amplifying their sound and implementing both aspects in his installations he visualises the importance of the machine as an integral part of the art – an artistic reference to Vilem Flussser's concept of the 'apparatus'.

His projections, installations and experimental films have been shown in numerous international festivals, as well as at galleries and museums such as the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, ZKM Karlsruhe, Art Center Nabi Seoul, Museum of Image and Sound São Paulo and MOCA Taipei. In his work Seidel is interested in pushing the boundaries of abstracted beauty through cinematographic approaches, as well as ones drawn from science. By the organic interplay of various structural, spatial and temporal concepts, he creates a continuously evolving complexity. Out of this multifaceted perspective emerges a narrative skeleton, through which viewers connects to the artwork on an evolutionary-derived and phylogenetic-fixated symbolic level. Seidel lives and works in Berlin and Jena as artist, filmmaker and curator." description: "The Berlin-based artist Robert Seidel dissolves boundaries of genre by extending the clarity of the drawing – through the flow of painting, the spatiality of sculpture and temporal elements – into an abstract-film narrative. Besides the silver screen, conceptual, as well as real visual projection surfaces include architectural and sculptural forms. The material for these medial interlacings frequently originates in nature and in the abstract gaze of science on nature, for example in the form of MRI images. Through subsequent deconstruction with digital tools, it becomes possible – before the eyes of the recipient – to condense these structures into a rhizomatic memory structure independent from physical space and linear time. The filmic image conserves the whole creation process in abstract-organic tableaux vivants. In the process, temporal sequences or movements become not only imagined – as frequently attempted in the history of drawing and painting – but actually represented." artist_website: "http://www.robertseidel.com" - media_artist_url: "/images/grapheme_robert-seidel_museum-wiesbaden_01.jpg" + media_artist_url: "/images/grapheme_robert-seidel_museum-wiesbaden_01.jpg_resized.png" video_artist_url: "https://vimeo.com/148470865" talk_video_url: - title: "Poetic data: Humanising the digital - Carla Chan discusses digital manipulation of the erratic forms of nature" @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ talks: artist_bio: "Carla Chan is a media artist based in Berlin and Hong Kong, where she obtained her bachelor degree in Media Arts from the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong.
