Austria 2009, 3 min, language: without dialogue
director: Didi Bruckmayr | music: Fuckhead
Bruckmayr’s blisters are reminiscent of the financial system’s ones: first arranged in a fragile and predictable sequence, they suddenly explode and cause havoc that manifests itself in hyperactive patterns.

Austria 2008, 8 min
director: Didi Bruckmayr | music: Györgyi Ligeti
In Flexible Cities, sound clusters hover over algorithmic cities that are generated in real time: by using new digital imaging techniques, the urban spaces develop in a procedural way. Representational forms, such as multi-perspective projections, birds-eye views, and x-ray layers overlap from time to time. (Nicola Hirner)

ich bin traurig (i am sad)
Austria 2003, 4 min, language: without dialogue
directors: Didi Bruckmayr, Michael Strohmann | sound: Fuckhead
The video i am sad is part of a series of works on ”digital translations of reality” (D. Bruckmayr). Fuckhead – one of the band projects of cultural workers Bruckmayr/Strohmann – is one of these translation projects. The masculinity-charged raging of brachial heavy metal music runs – analogue to the technical processes of sound mixing – through the filter of another cultural form of expression: the opera and its melodramatic employment of voices, as well as the distant, cool, electronic creation of sound. The result is a bastard, a science-fiction being whose existence grows increasingly precarious. (Michael Loebenstein)
