Martin Reinhart (born 27 November 1967 in Vienna) is an Austrian experimental filmmaker, media artist and academic. He is Senior Lecturer in the master's programme Art & Science at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.[1]

Life and work

Reinhart first studied photography and media art and has worked since the 1990s as an experimental filmmaker and installation artist. His artistic practice deals with the materiality of film, with media technologies and with reversing cinematic perspectives of perception.[2]

He often works collaboratively, for example with Virgil Widrich, Manu Luksch and Thomas Tode. Reinhart gained international attention with the documentary Dreams Rewired (2015), which assembled historical film material to create a media history of the 20th century.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

Together with Virgil Widrich he created the short films tx-transform (1998), tx-reverse (2019) and tx-reverse 360°, which were screened at international festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival, as well as the interactive installation tx-mirror (2018).[9]

He explores the interplay of time, space and perception in film and has developed new forms of representation, such as the "reversal" of cinematic image spaces in the tx projects.
