Sabine Bitter / Helmut Weber
Since 1993, Vancouver and Vienna based artists Sabine Bitter (1960, Aigen i.M., Austria) and Helmut Weber (1957, Dorf/Pram, Austria) have collaborated on projects adressing urban geographies, architectural representations and related visual politics.
Their artistic works focus on emergent sites and overlaps of architecture, urban developments, communications systems and modes of artistic and cultural production as they are 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 have formed the urban research collective Urban Subjects US.
