Wolfgang Spahn is an Austrian-German visual artist based in Berlin. His work includes interactive installations, miniature slide paintings and performances of light & sound. His art explores the field of analogue and digital media and focuses on both their contradiction and their correlation. That's why he is also specialised in re-appropriated and re-purposed electronic technologies.
