Rebecca Gischel,
born 1989, is a Munich-based artist working at
the intersection of art and technology. As founder of the
artistic collaboration Picaroon, she creates interactive
installations and acrylic paintings that address relevant social,
personal and cultural themes of her generation. For her work, Gischel
draws on her studies in Media and Interaction Design as well as on
her experience working as a freelance interaction designer for global
tech companies.
Her
observations of how digital products are created and how they
influence her generation on a personal and professional level
constantly feed back into her artistic work. The other facet of her
work reflects the longing for places untouched by digital trends and
constraints of our times.
Since
the founding of Picaroon in 2012, her work was exhibited at
world-class festivals and venues, such as the Ars Electronica
Festivals 2013 and 2018 in Linz (AT), the AURORA Light
Festival 2015 in Dallas (USA), the 3D Printshow 2014 in
London (UK) and the Science Centre in Glasgow (UK). She was
awarded several sponsorships and funds, among others by the Arts
Trust Scotland and the ideasTap Britain.
