Dagmar Schürrer is an artist working with the moving image. She assembles found footage, digitally generated objects and animations, text, drawing and sound to form intricate video-sound-montages, often extended by Augmented Reality, evocative of painting, collage or poetry. Her videos reflect on the surface of digital imagery and their patterns and repetitions, on late capitalist paranoia and projected utopian futures and our relationship to technological development within the digital and the analogue. She was born in Austria and currently lives in Berlin.
Board member of mkv medienkunstverein in Berlin and Saloon Network for Female Artists.
