Synopsis

This print publication and companion app offers a suitably wide-ranging introduction to the multi-faceted video, audio, digital, sculptural, kinetic and performative work of Torsten Lauschmann. Including newly commissioned texts by Sean Cubitt, Esther Leslie, Stewart Morgan, Graham Domke and Steven Bode, it echoes and follows the interests and preoccupations of an artist whose up-to-the-minute technological finesse is bolstered by an equally incisive historical overview. The Startle digital app brings the pages even more to life, triggering video and other content that enhances and extends the featured works. The ‘Startle’ publication is co-produced by Dundee Contemporary Arts and Film and Video Umbrella. The accompanying ‘Lauschmann’ app is commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Torsten Lauschmann’'s work is informed by his interest in the earliest forms of magical entertainment and the latest technical innovations. In his largest solo exhibition to date, he explores the use of tools, techniques and systems to solve problems, with the aim of bypassing the tension between optimistic and sceptical attitudes towards technology. Startle Reaction uses Lauschmann'’s interest in automatons and cinema to play with the notion that we are capable of believing in things we know are false.
