Birgit Bachler is an Austrian artist, designer and researcher previously based in Rotterdam and Wellington/The Whanganui-a-Tara recently settled again back home in Styria (Graz). Birgit has a background in interactive, audiovisual art, critical media design and hard- and software art. Curious how contemporary technology manipulates human and non-human connections she crafts experimental networks, often combining new and obsolete media with custom-built hardware and software. By dismantling and manipulating code and mechanisms of seemingly social technologies, she designs critical, sometimes playful contemplations of new media. In her most recent research she investigates Internet of Things and radio technologies as a means to give voice to the more-than-human world in networked environments.
She holds a BA in Information Design/Media & Interaction Design and a MA from the Piet Zwart Institute, Master Media Design and Communication: Networked Media (Rotterdam).
Birgit has exhibited and presented at art institutions such as V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media (Rotterdam, NL), The Netherlands Media Art Institute (Amsterdam, NL), Museumsquartier (Vienna, AT) and media arts festivals such as Transmediale (Berlin, GER), xCoAx (Graz/online), ISEA (Istanbul, TR & Manizales, CO), Piksel Festival (Bergen, NO) and Sonic Acts Academy (Amsterdam, NL).
Her current research interests are (a-)social technologies and networks, lo-fi handmade electronics, reappropriation of obsolete media, DIY and open source practices in the arts, and hand-harvested, open and big data as concrete poetry. (2022)
