„…........, or is the whole world just colours and shapes and the occasional noise in your head“?

(from „dead set“, uk 2008, Channel 4)

In his acoustic and visual productions, Stefaner-Schmid deals with the electronic,
physical, and mathematical foundations for the musical automatization of sound
patterns. On a visual level, he dedicates himself to investigating the representation
of zombies as individual and mass phenomena.
Background is the artist’s longterm interest in zombies, as well as in the
constructivist concept of trivial and non-trivial machines, which was introduced in
the 1970s by the Austrian physicist Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) based on ideas
developed by the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912–1954), one of the most
important co-founders of modern information and computer theory.
