   Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts - Intermedia Institute

   1063 Budapest, Kmety György utca 27.

   Ursula Hentschläger und Zelko Wiener will present three of their
   media works, whose quality lies in sensually staging the creation of
   art and knowledge. The primary emphasis of this work lies on the
   philosophical and dramaturgical confrontation of informational
   constructs with levels of perception. Imagery, blocks of text and
   tonal spaces are interwoven with one another and can be experienced
   interactively during the presentation.

   The presentation will be in English!
   
   A co-operation between the Austrian Cultural Forum Budapest, C3 -
   Center for Culture & Communication and the Intermedia Department of
   the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts.
