SCHURER

Computer music (2004-2007). With a text from Tim Zulauf (German and English) and drawings from Yves Netzhammer. Bernd Schurer is an artist who mainly focuses on the work with sound in a variety of contexts. He has realized compositions and audioworks for film, media- and soundinstallations, as well as for the stage and he has realized one opera score, all of which cover a broad spectrum of distinct aesthethics. His main interest lies in conceiving systems, that are autonomous, interactive or self- contained, trough the use of digital- and computer aided techniques, mostly applying experimental methods, as well as a healthy dose of research, skepticism and daydreaming. He often collaborates closely across different media with other artists. His works have been staged internationally and have received some acclaim and rewards. Born 1970 in Zurich; Studies in Philosophy and Film Science at the University of Zuerich. Bachelor of Arts, Hochschule für Kunst und Gestaltung Luzern.
