About Alexander Hahn (artist)
- Alexander Hahn (born 1954) is an electronic media artist.
- An artistic innovator in his field, his work integrates the time-based forms of video with practices of computer imagery and print, animation, virtual reality, installation, and writing.
- He addresses the electronic image as a technological metaphor for perception, memory and dream: signals oscillate between lighting up and blanking out, between sensory presence, mental apparition and oblivion.
- As art historian Dominique Radrizzani writes in the catalog Astral Memories of a Flying Man: "It is this luminous realm of dream that Hahn’s great art of light and shadow rediscovers, using video like those infinite eyes which night has opened in us (Novalis) ...
- The terrains explored by Hahn are not those of the terrestrial globe anymore, but rather those of the ocular globe, the inward looking hemisphere of the eye."
