Obermaier's talents range from media-artist, director and composer creating innovative work in the area of dance, music, theatre and new media. Recent projects include interactive installations, video art, web projects, computer music, as well as large inter media outdoor events for ten thousands of people. His work is highly acclaimed by critics and audiences around the world.
His most famous work to date would be his collaboration with Ars Electronica and the Brucknerfest with a performance of Stravinsky's, Le Sacre du Printemps (The Right of Spring). The aim was to apply technology and creativity to an orchestra, and a dance performance to generate a complex means of computer generated expression.
Stravinsky's piece was composed before World War One and was expressing an ecstatic desire to experience the intensity of life. Obermaier reflected in his visualizations for the composition how easy it is to blur the line between the real, the virtual, the fact and the fake. Obermaier uses real-time stereoscopic projections to intensify the relationship between the dancer, the animated visuals and the audience in the provided stereoscopic glasses (an update of 3D glasses).
Overall, I have been inspired by Obermaier and would like to experiment with visualisations to create an atmosphere in small bars around Nottingham.
