12. December 2016Workshop "Art, Science, and Philosophy"
The workshop "Art, Science, and Philosophy" will bring together philosophers, artists and scientists to rethink the concept of art and the concept of nature and "human nature" in the age of technoscience, where the biological sciences become the new technological frontier.
This event is part of the research collaboration "Question about the Limits: Art, Science, and Philosophy" between the Department of Media Theory, University of Applied Arts Vienna, and the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature, National Autonomous University of México (UNAM), Mexico City. The project aims to initiate and develop a debate about the relationship of ontology and aesthetics in the age of technoscience from the perspectives of art, science, and philosophy, driven by the question: What is art in the age of technoscience?
With lectures by Ingeborg Reichle, María Antonia González Valerio, Virgil Widrich, Bernd Kräftner, Herwig Turk, Tanja Gesell, Christoph Bock, Frank Rösl.

Martina Griesser and Monika Sommer (schnittpunkt ausstellungstheorie & praxis) in a conversation with Helga Bock (Funeral Museum) and Virgil Widrich (checkpointmedia).
In the public perception, death is as inseparable from Vienna as St. Stephen's Cathedral. The Funeral Museum, founded in 1967, owes its existence to the myth of the city's own particular relationship with the cult of the dead and the passion of a private collector. In 2014, the museum moves to the Central Cemetery and adopts a new strategy near the final resting places. It sees itself as a visitor centre and shows various aspects of bereavement with the aid of 250 exhibits. schnittpunkt focuses on questions such as: Who is the museum's target group? What does it entail when a general contractor takes on the redesigning of a company museum? What role is played by multimedia methods of communication? What are the disparities between the nature of the exhibits and the audio and video installations and how can they be reconciled? Can a museum function with no supervision? Will the collection be expanded?
On the "power of display" tour, schnittpunkt sheds light on the structural and thematic dimensions of this multifaceted project and deals with aspects relating to curating and designing the presentation as well as the implications of overlaps in the way an artist and a curator understand their roles. What is the relationship here between the tasks of a curator, the overall artistic concept and individual works?

- 06. December 2011Vienna according to checkpointmedia – Media based City Tour
On 6 December 2011 Virgil Widrich led a group of students from the Hani Rashid architecture class (University of Applied Arts Vienna) through Vienna city centre to two very different scenes of checkpointmedia's work. In the Mozarthaus Vienna (exhibition architecture by Gustav Pichelmann) the focus was on recreating a historical personality using new media in a listed building.
The approach adopted at the Visitor Centre in the Parliament building was entirely different: under the direction of the architects Geiswinkler&Geiswinkler a new structure was built underneath the old historic building in which the history and modus operandi of democracy in Austria are presented with the aid of media. The excursion was rounded off by a talk given by Agnes Hannes in the checkpointmedia offices.
