In his artistic work, Christoph Höschele combines media art, installation, and performance to create interactive experiences. In doing so, he addresses concerns related to society, culture, and technology. His works are characterized by an ironic examination of everyday objects and art historical myths. This is also true of his installation, which documents the route from Krems to St. Pölten with a camera-equipped tractor.

For another installation, Höschele was inspired by the artist and co-founder of conceptual art Marcel Duchamp. Höschele reconstructed a journey from Duchamp’s birthplace Blainville-Crevon to his place of death Neuilly-sur-Seine on a camera-equipped bicycle. Two cameras document the route forwards and backwards in order to create a comprehensive spatial and temporal perspective. In the exhibition, a modified bicycle wheel functions as an interface for controlling the video, allowing viewers to navigate through the documented journey. The artist specifically calls into question technologies and narratives, drawing a link between movement and reflections on the role and nature of media. Through interaction, visitors have the possibly to consider space and time from new perspectives. 

Christoph Höschele was born in 1976 in Metz, France. From 2000 to 2007 he studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna with Karel Dudesek, Peter Weibel and Ruth Schnell, among others, with a stay abroad at the University of Arts in Tallinn. His work, which includes digital and media art, has been exhibited internationally at Kunsthalle Wien, Furtherfield Gallery London, and the Bienal Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo de Sevilla.
