Michael Mastrototaro set up the artgroup MACHFELD (together with Sabine Maier ) in Vienna, Austria.
Based on the identically named cyber-novel (written by Michael Mastrototaro) MACHFELD developed an art-label with the focus points: photography, web-art, short- and experimental 16 mm films & videoart, streaming - projects, interactive installations, art-radio works, art for the public space as well as on- and offline performances.
Most of my works are labelled under MACHFELD.
Projects, exhibitions and installations / screenings in
Africa, Asia, Europe, Central - America, North America and in the USA.
