Host Biographies
Since 1993, Vancouver and Vienna based artists Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber have collaborated on projects addressing urban geographies, architectural representations, and related visual politics. Their works focus on emergent sites and overlaps of architecture, urban developments, communications systems, and modes of artistic and cultural production as mediated through photography, video, and new media technologies. Projects like Caracas, Hecho en Venezuela, Live Like This! and CITYtransformer 02, engage with conflictual moments and sites of globalization, as they are materialized in architecture. Dealing with architecture as a frame for spatial meaning, the works of Bitter/Weber are at the interface of architecture, new media technologies, and systems of representation.
In 2004, Sabine Bitter, Jeff Derksen, and Helmut Weber formed the urban research collective Urban Subjects US.
Since 2007, the artists have been represented by Grita Insam Gallery, Vienna.
