When I draw with digital tools, by “drawing and holding creates a shape” I can completely detach myself from the idea of the drawn line.

Through “Adjust QuickShape” it is possible to push lines together or pull them apart.

The movement can be fast-forwarded and rewound. The movement in itself becomes invisible and can be restored.

Back and forth, forward and backward, bundling, direction and movement are movable for a moment of holding without leaving traces on the digital surface. Only by setting down in time the digital line remains drawn.

The movement of the drawn lines are bundled into one line by “drawing and holding creates a shape” so that the viewer can only guess what is hidden in this one red line.

RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR
Wuhan – Munich

Digital exhibition in the public space of the city of Munich

A digital exhibition project initiated by Hubei Institute of Fine Arts, Wuhan; Digital Art Space Munich; Kulturreferat Munich and the artist group Rhythm Section Munich.

Funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts; Cultural Foundation of Stadtsparkasse Munich; Ströer; Hubei Institute of Fine Arts, Wuhan; Guangzhou D-Lab Cultural Development Co., Ltd; Villa Waldberta, Artists’ House of the City of Munich.

Due to the pandemic and zero covid strategy, the exhibitions of artists from Wuhan can hardly be presented and communicated abroad. The distance between Chinese artists and viewers in Europe is greater than ever. How can artists bring works closer to the public with a flight distance of 8,376 km between Wuhan and Munich?

Digitization influences and changes daily life, relationships, work and even elections. Urban development is taking the form of a megamedium.

Smart city stands for intelligent networking within a city. Moving images are a trendy topic for media in public spaces. Moving images on public video screens offer the opportunity for effective communication with mobile audiences in passing.

The Stachus Passagen – Europe’s largest underground shopping center – is located in the middle of Munich’s city center, directly at Karlsplatz/Stachus. From August 28 to September 7, 2023, from 6 a.m. to midnight, digital artworks by 5 artists from Wuhan and 5 artists from Munich will be broadcast on the public video stations of the Stachus Passagen, between the everyday mixture of editorial content and advertising.

RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR is a digital gallery in public space that gives artists the opportunity to be seen and invites viewers to participate in the development of digital art. Art opens itself to the public and even to the public that does not come to the museum.

RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR is a sustainable project, because no resources are consumed. The project uses the existing screens of the public urban space.

Tag und Nacht
Tag und Nacht schließt sich an eine Videoarbeit von 2001 an:
Tag und Nacht sitze ich auf einer Bank.
Tagsüber kann ich nichts hören, nachts höre ich Geräusche.
Tag und Nacht 2021 als digitale Zeichnung zeigt Zeit und Dauer, Tag und Nacht als stete Wiederholung.
Tag und Nacht.
Vergessen und Erinnern.

FOR ONE DRINK

GEBROCHENER BILDSCHIRM ODER DIGITALE ZEICHNUNG?

“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing

BROKEN SCREEN OR DIGITAL DRAWING?

“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing

Für jeden Betrachter ist es eine Herausforderung , mit einer Linie auf Papier umzugehen, einer Linie oder einem Strich auf Papier. Aber er spürt das Papier, das Material, die von Hand angebrachte Zeichnung. Die Zeichnung ist Teil der realen materiellen Welt und kommuniziert mit ihm.

“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing

For every viewer it is a challenge to deal with a line on paper, a line or a stroke on paper. But he feels the paper, the material, the drawing applied by hand. The drawing is part of the real material world and communicates with him.

Die Linie zieht die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Leere des Blattes und zugleich auf die Fülle des Fehlenden.

“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing

The line draws attention to the emptiness of the sheet and at the same time to the fullness of what is missing.

“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing

Ich ziehe eine Linie auf dem Bildschirm. Was macht es zu einer anderen Erfahrung, eine Linie auf einem Bildschirm zu sehen? Warum vermuten manche Betrachter der Bildschirm sei gebrochen? Liegt es an der Sehgewohnheit, auf Bildschirmen Bilder und Geschichten zu erwarten? Liegt es daran, dass unsere Aufmerksamkeit auf Inhalt und Informationen gerichtet ist.

I draw a line on the screen. What makes seeing a line on a screen a different experience? Why do some viewers assume the screen is broken? Is it because of the viewing habit of expecting images and stories on screens? Is it because our attention is focused on content and information.

“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing

Die Linie wird nicht als ein Element einer Zeichnung wahrgenommen, sondern als technischer Defekt. Die digitale Linie lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf den Bildschirm als Medium, das uns zwingt Formen zu finden. Und so wird die Linie zur digitalen Zeichnung.

“For one drink”, Veronika Wenger 2020, Full HD, digital drawing

The line is not perceived as an element of a drawing, but as a technical defect. The digital line draws attention to the screen as a medium that forces us to find shapes. And so the line becomes a digital drawing.
