In Quechua, a language of indigenous people in
the Andes in South America, INTIÑAHUI means "IN THE EYE OF THE
SUN". In 2001 - while working on the script for a video project - Klaus Schrefler
[alias KaRaSu, artist and scientist] met sculptor and also scientist Luis
Viracocha in Quito, Ecuador. As they discovered similar
attitudes in a spiritual approach towards the backgrounds of life they
decided to co-operate in a complete work. Inspired by ancient places of
worship like Ingapirca and by works of Luis Viracocha Klaus Schrefler
developed a symbolism of numbers for the three-dimensional
reconstruction of some central sculptures as a base for the animated
sequences of the Visual Media Art Project. He succesfully invited other artist for the digital modeling in his studio, the [Museum of Modern Crime]. Since then Thomas Siegl (then already working with Vito Acconci Studios, New York), Elmar Ranegger [Imagewerk] and Martin Schemitsch were responsible for central parts of the artistic work on the project. [Crew]. In a dynamic creative process togehter with Klaus Schrefler they generated individual sequences of images which are the base for an integrated, process-oriented piece of art, aiming at the intercultural integration of artists. The universal language of the animated sequences serves as primary media of communication. |
