Turbulence Artists' Studios: Peter Horvath
http://turbulence.org/studios/horvath/index.html

Peter Horvath's works are non-interactive, net.based videos engaging us
in the possibility of technological intimacy. They are multilayered and
created with a logic and aesthetic endemic of the web, while referencing
surrealist and collage explorations of film. These works employ the
lyrical language of the cinema to compose an autobiographical portrait;
the viewer hovers over a series of multi-layered videos. Finally they
exist as a composition of emerging frames which overlap, collapse and
fill the computer's own bordered space.

BIOGRAPHY

Peter Horvath was born of Hungarian descent in Toronto, Canada. Camera
in hand since age 6, he inhaled darkroom fumes until his late 20's, then
attended Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design in Vancouver. He immersed
himself in digital technologies at the birth of the Web, co-founded
6168.org a web-based site for net.art, and adopted techniques of
photomontage which he uses to exhibit photo-based works. Horvath has
lived in Europe, the Caribbean, North America and spends time in New
York City. Exhibitions include the Musee du Quebec in Quebec City,
venues in Tokyo, London, Montreal, Toronto, and numerous net.art
showings. He is a founding member of the Anti-Web net.art collective
Hell.com. He likes to consider a future when high bandwidth will be
free.
