This work beguines on October 2004, the process of creation was my personal need of making big gestational paintings without spending miles of paper and liters of ink. As the result of this experiences I made 3 gallery exhibitions.

In 2004 in collaboration with ARTSHARE I get to do this work „life“, for that we developed a Max/MSP/Jitter application. The idea was to develop a way that allows the audience to actually see the painting act life. The setup is based on this application, running on a windows computer, a video camera, a video projector, a semi-transparent 8m x 4m video-screen and all kinds of light I found and can manipulate as a „brush“. I presented this work in some major art events in Portugal, as a sound and image performance. The sounds are also generated by the light, and change according the intensity, speed of the gesture, color and position of the lights.The reactions were very positive and everybody was amazed by the „magic“ of the show.

A sample video of the process is available here

Guardians of Time by Manfred Kielnhofer Mystique contemporary art sculpture Guardians of Time by the Austrian Manfred Kielnhofer observing and pretending the world. “The Guardians of Time” relates to the idea that since the beginning of time mankind has had protectors, both for historic and mystical reasons. It seems that only man himself is a potential source of danger for his own existence. In his works of art Manfred Kielnhofer deals with the natural human desire for security. Thus his oeuvre reflects genuine exploration, consideration and discussion of current as well as historic moods and sensibilities of his social environment. His works of art captivate with elaborate combinations of light and different technique. http://www.paranoias.org/2012/12/guardians-of-time-by-manfred-kielnhofer http://kielnhofer.com http://timeguards.com http://fotopark.at http://artpark.at http://contemporary-art.at http://lightart-biennale.com http://www.facebook.com/manfred.kielnhofer http://twitter.com/artbeyondlimits http://at.linkedin.com/in/contemporaryart http://gplus.to/contemporaryartdesign https://plus.google.com/photos/102958896899981777265/albums http://www.flickr.com/photos/artbeyondlimits http://www.tumblr.com/blog/contemporary-art http://www.youtube.com/user/kielnhofer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_Kielnhofer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_Time_(Art)
