Armin Keplinger
ABOUT
*01.11.1982, LINZ – lives and works in BERLIN.
‘I work in the creation of digital image, videos, kinetic sculptures and installations. My focus is to merge audio and visual in one immersive blend. I have been fascinated by drastic shifts in form, materials and time, and the resulting distinct switch in the viewer’s perception. An emerging medium like Virtual Reality has widened my research and exploration.
I have been captivated by its unlimited freedom and how, as an artist, I am able to retain full control of light, movement and scale. The result of my investigation in VR is typically a dystopian, mystic and introspective environment, oscillating between abstraction and realism. In my work, sublime and monumental beauty coexists with annihilation.’
