Shahin Charmi, born in Iran in 1953, is based in the interdisciplinary art. Since the 1980s, he realizes his works with the artistic media of
computer and
video art,
performance and
action,
painting,
photography and not least the
net art. In his work he reflects cultural-historical and current, social and ecological development aspects.
In Charmi's works, constellations manifest themselves from the media communication and information machinery, at the same time they are references and relics of the technological achievements of those periods. A formal attribute of his work is the repetition and reproduction of sequences, whose transmedial consensus he makes multi-layered visible. A component of these
intermedial works are
printographies, which he derives from the ornaments of the Ancient Orient and creates new contexts through media-reflected contents. Through the "aesthetic peace" inherent in Charmi's works, one reaches the deep layers of our social structure, wich fragments are captured in processual operations and merged into "holistic"
installations in physical, virtual and social spaces.
