Christoph Mayer and his staff garnered high praise worldwide for Audiopath Gusen, their audio guide to a former Nazi concentration camp in Upper Austria. Their latest project is an installation consisting of empty, white spaces in KunstRaum Goethestrasse xtd. A soundtrack, film sequences and thought experiments fundamentally call into question an individual’s sense of certainty that he/she is capable of reaching decisions autonomously. This installation also investigates how decision-making situations are perceived. Never before attempted in this form is the technology that lets the body become a part of direction-specifying events.
