Atelier Auge

Thomas Aigelsreiter was born 1972 in Vienna. Since 1990, after his graduation from the Masters-Class for GraphicDesign, he has been working under the alias "Auge“, German for "eye“. His nick name caught on during his early years as an illustrator for comicstrips, newspapers, and magazines. Auge has worked with some of the most prestigious advertising agencies in German-speaking Europe and their international clients. The next logical step was to move from the static to the moving picture. Auge occupies himself, when time permits, with directing and producing various short films. His work ranges from animated shorts and experimental film-essays to television commercials. He has produced numerous highly acclaimed flash-animations which have won him the "Austrian National Prize for Multimedia“ in 2001. Two of his shortfilms have also been featured at the Venice Film Festival in 2002. The following years Auge completed several new shortfilms alongside his continuing illustration work. In Spring 2005 he produced a music-video for his longtime collaborators "konsorten TM", who composed the soundtracks for three of his outings into the field of experimental filmmaking and "HaikuWho?", the animated answer to caffein addiction. Since 2006 he is one of the founders of BUREAU PAWLOW, an agency specialised in producing all sorts of creative challenges.The Future is wide open...
