In his audiovisual live performance, Kohlberger uses digital-projection technology in a radical way.
Through impulses and waves of pure light, the intentional overload of the human perception apparatus leads to visual impressions that appear exclusively in the literal »eye of the beholder«.
Layers of noise, drones and stroboscopic lights unfold a sense of the infinite, which fascinates him both as the ultimate abstraction and because it is inveterately fuzzy.
Image surface and image space meld into a consciousness in which categories such as being and non-being, material and immaterial appear obsolete.

Author
Rainer Kohlberger is among a growing group of artists who create their experimental and abstract works without the traditional use of a camera.
He draws his images based on computer algorithms and prefers the short duration of the subject, which he has likened to that of a musical composition, to that of a feature film.
He has recently added language, in the form of a human voice as narrator, to his toolkit.
