Zelko Wiener : Zwischen 0 und 1. Kunst im digitalen Umbruch. Between 0 and 1. Art in the digital Revolution.
Bok av Berthold Ecker
This publication on the oeuvre of Zelko Wiener (1953 - 2006) pays homage to a key personality of Austria's media art. The multifacetedness of his systematic, experimental, and poetical - both immaterial and physical - artistic productions is just as impressive as his engagement with the male image, the structures and possibilities offered by new technologies, and the options for interpreting and illustrating contemporary communication culture. The book provides an in-depth overview of the more than thirty years of the artist's oeuvre which, for the first time, is comprehensively placed into its context following a posthumous evaluation of the items in the Zelko Wiener art archive in cooperation with the MUSA art museum. The publication is part of a retrospective at the MUSA in Vienna in 2016.
