Reni Hofmüller – Production Visit

Reni Hofmüller focuses on art in technological contexts and explores the relationships between art, technology and society. Sound has long been her main artistic tool, but she is equally interested in going on walks or finding new networks and people to engage with her surroundings. She is one of the founders of esc medien kunst labor Graz, works at Radio Helsinki, the non-commercial community radio station in Graz, as well as mur.at.

Hofmüller is a member of the Institute for Media Archaeology and has been singing in the feminist post-punk band Lonesome Hot Dudes since December 2014. Embedded in feminist technology collectives, she is involved in the ecletic tech carnival, the TransHackFeminist Meeting and is concerned with the concept of feminist servers.

During her production visit at the symposium site, she will work on an earth antenna and explore sounds based on her preoccupation with the material copper and the medium of radio.
