Descripción del Artista
Michaela Putz studied at the University of Applied Art (Master of Art&Science) and Communication and Political Science at the University of Vienna. In her multimedia work she visually investigates our current society’s interaction with digital media, the flood of data/images and our obsession with the screen and its manifold gestures. Exploring the impact of the virtual world on our personal and collective memories, intimate relationships and social issues, she expands the use of photographic images into various layers in front of and behind the screen, implementing tools of digital post-processing and actual traces of touch, while also transforming those images into three-dimensional installations and objects.
She took part in various group and solo exhibitions within Austria and abroad, including institutional shows and gallery presentations. She received several grants and awards, among them the Annual Award for Fine Art of Burgenland in 2018, and the START-grant for photography of the Austrian Chancellery in 2019. Her works have been published and broadcasted in several formats and magazines and she has given public lectures on her works about contemporary photography and digitalization.
