Brochure accompanying the same named exhibition in Kunsthaus Bregenz (Oct. 10, 2009 - Jan. 17, 2010). Working since the late 1970s among the downtown New York music and art overlaps, video artist Tony Oursler (born 1957) is famed internationally for his immersive installations. LOCK 2,4,6 was developed over a number of years in conjunction with Eckhard Schneider and the Kunsthaus Bregenz. The installation was in part inspired by Peter Zumthor's provocative architecture. Oursler converted the entire building into a meta-installation, using synchronized projections, supergraphics and shaped flat panels to form a maze through which participants navigated. The title of the exhibition was derived from the psychologist Peter Wason's research on hypothesis testing, that has been important in the study of confirmation bias or how we tend to skew the facts of our world through the filter of our own preconceptions. Other versions of the work have been produced in a linear structure and exhibited numerous times since Kunsthaus Bregenz in 2009. Please Note: The publication under the same title by Friedemann Malsch [...et al.] is not available at Stroom’s library.
