Judith Fegerl, media artist, lives and works in Vienna.
technical environments, sensitive sculptural work, scientific approach

The artist Judith Fegerl started doing new media projects in 1995 and cofounded the net art collective restate(.org) in 1997. Although deeply involved in net art and new media activism she never lost contact to the traditional fine arts. 2002 she left the collective and returned to her roots to develop a series of sculptural and installation works, that combine her knowledge of new media strategies and her passion for hightech equipment with the original idea of an auratic artwork. Her work is refered to represent the missing link between new media art and the classic contemporary approach. She is working with a widespread range of material. She wont stick to just one medium but is always searching for new ways to express herself. She reconstructs her own processes of perception and experience and translates them into a poetic language of reduced technical sculpture and installation for the audience to reexperience. With her series called "sensation capsules" she installs technical environments leading the spectator to experience determined and perceptible stimuli and to expose to provoked feelings. She successfully combines sensitive sculptural work and a scientific approach.The work itself involves not only construction and installation but also the sensual reaction of the audience.
