about

tius grew up with punch tape readers, large floppy disk drives, and soldering irons. For over four decades, he and his companies have developed and operated highly available systems for the media industry.

In collaboration with artists, he develops creative, customised technical solutions to enable new forms of expression.

In his artistic work, tius confronts elementary philosophical and social questions: the nature of reality, perception, transience, and human identity. He consciously employs the limitations of historical systems as an artistic medium.

fragile existences

The works for the exhibition "Teletext is Art" once again address fundamental questions of human existence. For this purpose, film quotes of artificial intelligences were placed in a new context.

How to Kunst im Teletext?

Workshop for digital artists by Max Haarich and Tius

(with Max Haarich and Betty Mü)

7 bit movement

“7bit movements” is an artistic investigation into the boundaries of visual perception.

13 international artists created short 7bit GIF animations to challenge our perception of movement. What does it take to have the impression of a movement? How do we identify a moving object, its direction, its orientation, its speed?

The rough and glitchy 7bit teletext aesthetics serve as a boundary and facilitator at the same time: they sometimes cover and sometimes highlight certain details to create novel experiences of visual perception and delusion.

The contributing artists are Bloom Jr., Gleb Divov , Gnothi Kollektiv, Max Haarich, Michael Käsdorf, die Köpfe, Tatjana Lee, muzsa, Pierro, Sebastian Quast, Rabanheidr, Jürg Kobel, and tius.

All artworks were created using custom based software build by tius.

Tempus fugit 

tius 2022

The artwork is based on Eadweard Muybridge's iconic running horse image sequence, often considered one of the earliest films of all time. The sequence is further reduced to the display possibilities of teletext and becomes a vanitas motif in its endless repetition.

Dedicated to the amazing @horsenburger.

telenft

The medium is the massage. Fully on-chain teletext art stored on Arweave and broadcasted on SAT.1 Teletext. Included in the permanent collection of Museum Francisco Carolinum (AT) and Museum of Teletext Art (FI).

The TeleNFT exhibition questions technological progress amid economic and environmental crises. The core inquiry: How much time is left? Is technology the salvation, or is art the threat? Immortalised on the blockchain, these works document our zeitgeist—at times ironically resigned, at others uninhibitedly euphoric—yet united in one conviction: now it is up to us.
