[ISEA95] Paper: George Mühleck — Datagraphy & Architecture

Abstract

Mühleck’s windows and murals in a public music school and a prison are the fruits of discussions about art and architecture as well as electronic tools and today’s society. Their content represents two extremes: the “freedom” of art and the power of captivity. While orders for art in public buildings often have the function of hiding architectural errors, these are examples of successful cooperations between artist, architect and client. A major reason for this is the fact that the artist was included in the discussion at an early stage of planning.

  • George Mühleck (Germany) is an artist who creates with copiers, video and computers. He has organized international exhibitions in the copigraphic field, curating and publishing Medium: Photocopy, Canadian and German Copigraphy.
