Life

Auzinger studied visual media design ( vismed ) at the University of Applied Arts Vienna under Peter Weibel , and film directing at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna under Axel Corti .

In his artistic work, Auzinger deals with the socio-political aspects of a technology-based communication society.

As a student of Peter Weibel and Richard Kriesche , Jörg Auzinger is regarded as a representative of media art with a concise visual language that is based on a comprehensive theoretical discussion. Jörg Auzinger's interactive installations, which often involve the viewer in the action, as well as his photographic works can be seen in exhibitions.

Auzinger was visiting professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and lives in Vienna and Graz .
