Markus HeckmannDE/CA
The media artist Markus Heckmann studied media technology at the TU Ilmenau and the Bauhaus University Weimar, before he started work as Technical Director for Derivative (Toronto, Canada) in 2006. In this capacity, Heckmann is primarily engaged in product development, technical support, outreach, and education.
In his artistic work he combines the aesthetics of generative computer graphics with the physical properties of light. For his media performances Heckmann uses Derivative’s software TouchDesigner to develop new visual instruments, which allow him to perform live with the music. The visual worlds created in this way are far removed from any representation but bring the medium itself to dream. Colors, shapes and movements draw imaginary spaces that Heckmann explores and documents with virtuosity. The artwork is created in the same moment in which it is viewed.
