Check it out (scroll down): _www.digitalartarchive.at_
Tamiko Thiel is internationally renowned for her impressive
andpolitically-engaged virtual and augmented reality installations. She
visualizes thoughts and concepts with digital means in a sensitiveway
and combines it with real world places, objects and settings.This
approach allows her to provide a non-western perspective on western
culture, to reminds us of historical events right in the placeswhere
they happened or shows us how our neighborhoods could look like in the
future.
MATTHEW WILSON SMITH
Like her creation Mariko Horo,[...] Tamiko Thiel is a border-crosser and an explorer of virtual space. […]
It recalls Thiel’s work in showing how the concrete and the virtual, the
bounded and the streaming, the grid and the fold are now not only
inseparable, but mutually reinforcing<
OLIVER GRAU
Art, that connects innovatively and playfully contemporary digital culture with social, societal and
ecological issues, was developed by Tamiko Thiel in the last 20 years.
Particularlyinternationally renowned is her Memorial Art, that
impressively recalls the Berlin Wall or the Californian internment camps
in an unprecedented way<
CHRISTIANE PAUL
Beyond Manzanar< (2000)[...] illustrates a chasm of cultural identity, contrasting a dream
world of cultural heritage with a reality of political injustice.<
The Archive of Digital art provides the most extensive documentation on
Thiel's Oeuvre containing works like >Shades of Absence: Outside
Inside<(2011), which gave a voice to artists who have been threatened
with arrest or physical violence by visualizing theirsilhouettes and
names with AR technology at Venice Biennale, or >Invisible Istanbul:
Captured Images< (2011) using smartphone augmented reality to overlay
virtual artworks onto physical spaces of specific sites in Istanbul,
creating surrealistic and poetic juxtapositions between real and virtual
within the context of the hidden urban dynamics of the places.
Some of her most acclaimed works documented in ADA recall historical
incidents by the means of immersive 3-D Virtual Reality installations:
>Beyond Manzanar<(2000, with Zara Houshmand) recollects the suffering
of Japanese Americans in the internment camps during World War II and
>Virtuelle Mauer/ReConstructing the Wall< (2008, with Teresa Reuter)
gives people who did not experience the Berlin Wall an idea of the
political, sociological and territorial division in former East and West
Germany.
