1 Hybrid forms & process orientation
Bilderwerfer generates innovative hybrid forms at the intersection of dance, theatre, performance, visual art, architecture, new media and electronic music. Bilderwerfer's work is process-oriented and focuses on the relationship between research and presentation in the production process by monitoring the results of ongoing experimental settings in the publicizing of work-in progress phases, with the long-term aim of channelling these into production development. Bilderwerfer is a label which draws on an international pool of artists for the realization of its projects. This network guarantees artistic exchange and discourse, thus effecting a re-examination of approaches to work.

2 Interface laboratory
Bilderwerfer is engaged in continual and unremitting research at the interface of analogue, digital and physical representation, developing interface designs for use in the field of the performing arts, with emphasis on expanding live performance (dance/theatre/actionistic forms/installations). Close collaboration is fostered with media artists from Austria and abroad.

3 Art and disability
Over the past ten years, Bilderwerfer has built up a high degree of competence in the integration of disabled artists in professional and experimental production forms of dance, theatre and performance, a competence which is continually being further developed. In its performances, Bilderwerfer generates strategies that are directed against the dissemination of a normative body image.

4 Virtual house & urban nomads
Committed to translating into action a philosophy of artistic urban nomadism which is applied in the context of urban planning & development, new architecture and the development of cultural concepts, Bilderwerfer intervenes in spaces in the recurring confrontation of public places with art, media and politics. The basic notion of a virtual house as temporary manifestation creates a dynamic relationship in the production of art, preventing sclerosis and inflexibility on a structural level.
