‘Porsche Headlights‘ awardee
The light art installation ‘Swiftly and silently doing its work’ by Vienna-based artist Miriam Hamann visualises the technological infrastructures that control our mobility today – satellites, radio waves and navigation systems. What happens unnoticed in the background becomes the luminous cipher of a world in permanent synchronisation.
At the centre is a reduced, powerful neon work, inspired by a visionary forecast from 1898: the control of time by radio. A reality today – and yet barely recognised. Millions of processes run in parallel, wirelessly and precisely – mobility as a state of permanent networking.
Miriam Hamann transforms this highly complex state into a poetic light image. Her work is more than an installation – it is a silent reflection on control, structure and the fragile order of digital systems. An artistic intervention that opens up the space for the invisibility of what determines our everyday lives.
Hamann, whose works oscillate between sculpture and installation, combines scientific abstraction with visual clarity.
