Matthias Hurtl
Matthias Hurtl / MMTHS is a media artist and researcher exploring the links between sound, electromagnetism, and telecommunication networks. His interdisciplinary work takes the form of audio-visual performances, sound installations, fixed media compositions, and electronic devices. In recent years knowledge transfer and demystifying radio technology have become a crucial part of his practice through the intersection of art and education.
His current research Drowning in Æther focuses on the audibility of satellite signals through a practice-based approach. The practice he calls signal hunting, is a carefully planned activity that he engages to track and capture the transmissions of satellites using a set of self-built tools and antennas.
Matthias’s works have been shown in exhibitions and festivals in Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa. He holds a Master’s degree from the Institute of Sonology of the Royal Conservatoire in Den Haag and a diploma in Digital Arts of the University for Applied Arts in Vienna. *2024
