	Wolfgang Temmel, who was born in 1953, has worked in a wide variety of media and art forms; he has spent much time in New York and London, and now lives in Wies, Styria. With and through diverse projects, - such as A Collection of Angels, New York 1980, Heartbeats, Ars Electronica Linz, 1989, the production of the CD Stille Post no.1, 1991, Am Arsch der Welt (At the Back of Beyond), Radio ORF (Austria Public Broadcasting Station) 1995 - "works" staggered in time and space have recurrently emerged via distributed or interlinked authorship processes. Rather than as objects of art, these works are intended to reflect the very processes which are their respective points of focus. In producing these works, Temmel creates temporary systems based on these contexts and mechanisms, which he then takes up, retraces and incorporates into each work: the resulting art "spaces" are not reproducible and are only partially deducible from the finished "product" (video, book, radio piece, CD, brooch, etc.). The forms of dialogue, the interplay of intentions and coincidences, and the events themselves are what give each project its own framework without fully defining it.
