In her work that revolves around seeing and perception, Helga Philipp builds on the tradition of Viennese Kineticism and eruditely connects this with phenomena ranging from cybernetics to computer art. Grids, repetition, reflection, and playful combinatorics are the artistic means Philipp uses to activate not only the visual but also the bodily perception of viewers. In Object 70033, the staggered plexiglass panes with the metal mirror at the back make the circles appear to float in an unbounded space. As a teacher at the Vienna University of Applied Arts from 1965, Philipp influenced an entire generation of Austrian artists with her focus on perception, performativity, and interaction.
