With each of his series, he observes time flowing by and life pulsating in front of his eyes. In his works, he scrutinizes the transience of life and man’s inherent urge to leave some trace behind. Magyar is ready to combine conventional techniques like the slit cam with readily available devices like a scanner and merge the two into a camera by a program he himself has written to be able to produce his unique cityscapes. His works have been exhibited in several solo and group shows internationally, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Hong Kong."

He aims to present that unusual combinations of hardware and software may reward you with the image you have in mind."

The project “9 Evenings reconsidered: The 10th Evening” is based upon the milestone media arts event “9 Evenings” (1966 New York). Over the period of one year a mixed group of students worked theoretically and practically on this topic and presented the results in form of performances and an exhibition. The presentation serves as an example for a project based curriculum at the Audio Visual Lab at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. The usage of media and technology in the production of art/performance/theatre/music…, interdisciplinary art practice and project based work strategies as a curriculum in the art academy are some of the points of interest in the following Q&A and/or round table."
