MACHFELD

Founded in 1999 by media artists Michael Mastrototaro and Sabine Maier in Vienna, Austria, they work in different fields: Netart, short and experimental films, streaming projects, interactive installations, and art in public space.

Examples of their work include The Game 1 (2002), a comparative experiment about the social behavior of individuals as a function of the medial context. The comparison took place between the real and the virtual world: participants had the possibility of playing with two women, like they were puppets.

They thought they were safe as art recipients (-consumers), in reality they were objects of investigation (and also victims of their own desires and emotions). Lack of scientific accuracy created liberty- there was no claim on extensive explanatory power. A game abides a game / is not a game?
