Concept and curating: Hartwig Knack. When we look through a textured glass pane or beneath a moving water surface to visually perceive objects, they appear bizarre, strangely disturbed, and deformed in their external appearance. In the field of visual media, 'Bildstörung' (image disturbance) refers to accidentally communicated information that causes unwanted changes in the transmitted signal. We all know the phenomenon when satellite reception disturbances or poor digital data transfer cause distortions in the television image or streamed film. The participating artists intentionally explore such and other exciting visual deformations, illusions, and false images, developing them further in their works, because in a random image disturbance or a sensory illusion, what is usually invisible can be observed. From this perspective, the disturbance itself gains both content and aesthetic informational value. Digital resolution, realism, blurriness, and anomalies meet analog creation. Distorted faces, landscapes, nature, or imaginary fantastic architectures emerge. They tell stories of visual perception, psychological states, feigned reality, and the fragmentation of optical relationships.
