Read MoreGerald Trimmel is a Vienna-based media artist, composer, cultural scientist, and art therapist working at the intersection of time-based image practices, sound, and system-oriented thinking. His work explores perception, transformation, temporality, and the dynamics of image materiality through dynamic visual compositions and electroacoustic sound. Trimmel’s practice spans digital painting, generative and AI-assisted processes, scanner-based image techniques, and sound-based experimentation, often presented as single-channel works or installations.
His works have been presented internationally in exhibitions, screenings, and festivals, including the group exhibition TIME FOLDED (Chongqing, China, 2025), ArteScienza Festival in collaboration with MA/IN (Rome, 2025), The Wrong Biennale, Miden Video Art Festival Thessaloniki, FILE – Electronic Language International Festival Saō Paulo (selected for 2026), and Festival Internacional de la Imagen Bogotá (selected for 2026).
He received Honorary Mentions at Prix Ars Electronica (1989) and the Luigi Russolo International Prize for Electroacoustic Music (1989), the 1st Prize for Film and Television Research (1992), and the Theodor Körner Prize (1994).
He holds degrees in art therapy, electroacoustic music, and history, with a research focus on media as historical sources and processes of reconstruction and transformation.
