Jan Machacek is a media artist and performer. His pieces are intersections of space, body, video projection, sound and spoken word, focusing on matters of individual agency in a reality informed by audiovisual media and information. Machacek’s performances have been presented, among others, at the Wiener Festwochen, the Marstalltheater in Munich, Germany and Laboratorio Arte Alameda in Mexico City. His work has won multiple accolades, such as at the Graz Diagonale and the International Prize for Performance in Trento. Recent works at brut Wien include *EX-HELENA* with Ximena Escalante and Oliver Stotz and the set design and video art for *JUSTITIA! Data Ghosts* by Gin Müller, Laura Andreß and team. www.janmachacek.at
