Who?
The Golden Pixel Cooperative (GPC) is an association for moving images, arts and media, active within both exhibition and cinema contexts. It was founded from the need to act collectively in a predominantly individual cultural landscape.
With a critical, feminist and antidiscriminatory approach, we work on the production, distribution, and presentation of artworks and discourses. We foster empowerment and solidarity by enabling exchange and support between artists, cultural workers, educators and thinkers. Collectively, we work on projects that have various formats such as screenings, exhibitions, symposia and publications.
Our aim is to engage with a wide range of audiences, and to collaborate with a variety of cultural organizations and initiatives. We seek to share resources and infrastructures, strive for inclusive formats of participation, and build upon shared knowledge. We strongly believe in the political potential of kinship, one that is driven by openness, equality and continuous learning processes.
The Golden Pixel Cooperative is an association based on sustainable structures and therefore new members are incorporated gradually. At the moment, the membership is upon invitation only and often evolves from shared interests, values and previous collaborations. The Golden Pixel Cooperative has compiled a video archive featuring works by members of the cooperative. We are happy to provide access to it upon request.
ARTIST INDEX
Agnes Wazola
Agnes Wazola, born in Berlin, has been living and working in Vienna since 2010. After gaining initial experience in music and distribution as an intern at various radio stations, she moved closer to the creative process while working as an assistant at the music publishing company 10vor10 and in the management of artists.
In 2002, she began a 20-year career in the music industry, contributing to the production and marketing of music from a financial perspective. In recent years, her interest has increasingly shifted away from industry and product toward the discursive and artistic process of creation in close collaboration with artists.
Through her membership in the Golden Pixel Cooperative, this interest deepened and led to a professional reorientation. Since 2023, she has been working at KGP Filmproduktion in Vienna, where she supports artists in their creative processes—both within the production company and the Cooperative.
Christiana Perschon
Christiana Perschon (*1978) is a filmmaker and artist based in Vienna. In her artistic practice, she combines documentary and performative methods to create film portraits operating outside dominant norms of representation and regimes of gaze. She establishes collaborative settings, where interaction guides the dramaturgy and shapes the imagery, dissolving the hierarchy between who looks and who is looked at. In her works she builds a framework for her protagonists to appear, interact and create moving images together with her camera – to which she confers its own agency. She does not only deconstruct the objectifying patriarchal grasp on female bodies, she rather pays homage to inspirational resistant figures, to their working and living practices, weaving their singular paths within a transgenerational framework.
In her recent film “Shifiting Silence” Christiana Perschon spends time with Inge Dick, standing out against a twilight sky seemingly infinite, aboard an old barge, that causes the camera and the horizon to gently sway. Together they investigate the passage of time as it translates into shifts of color and light. In the film, sight cannot survey space. Instead, it touches upon metaphysical and planetary time.
Enar de Dios Rodríguez
Enar de Dios Rodríguez is a visual artist interested in demonstrating how economic, sociopolitical, historical, and environmental aspects intersect with each other. Through the use of a diverse range of media, including video, photography, and installation, her recent projects have focused on acts of territorialization, examining their origins, repercussions, and the requisite technologies of control essential for their execution. Enar’s artistic practice is research-based, rooted in interdisciplinary investigations, wherein the selective process of existing visual and textual material serves as a starting point for an exploration of the poetic and its political applicability. Understanding art as an affective form of knowledge-production, and inspired by feminist, posthumanist, and decolonial perspectives, her work ultimately aims to creatively sabotage the imposed future. At the moment she’s developing a new body of work that focuses on aerial and subterranean spaces. She is a founding collaborator of the science-art project SEEC Photography, was Junior Fellow at the ifk International Research Center for Cultural Studies (2023-2025) and is currently a Fellow at the Real Academia de España in Rome (2025-2026).
Iris Blauensteiner
Iris Blauensteiner works as a filmmaker and writer in Vienna. She is interested in the approach to constructions of human identities and subjective realities. With a poetic, social-realistic perspective, she is dedicated to the ambivalences of existential relationships, their atmospheres, and the interactions between digital and physical communication. The open dramaturgies of her films and books contain ambiguous potential and allow for emotional turning moments. The “and” between her work as an author and filmmaker is seen as a bridge through which she creates connections between genres, media and fragments of social realities.
Johanna Tinzl
Johanna Tinzl is an Austrian visual artist who lives and works in Vienna. Her practice spans a wide range of media and is grounded in a sensitive, participatory exploration of the histories of specific people, communities, places, and landscapes. She delves into questions of collective memory and the politically driven processes of representation, with a particular focus on the performative nature of historical narratives and the visualization of both global and local dimensions of ecological and technological processes. In her work – whether fictional, documentary, or a blend of both – she emphasizes the multiplicity of narratives, challenging hegemonic constructions of history.
Tinzl’s work has been recognized with scholarships and awards – including the State Grant for Visual Arts from BMKÖS and artist-in-residence programs in Reykjavík (Iceland), Detroit (USA), and Beijing (China). Her work has been presented in exhibitions and screenings at venues such as Donumenta Regensburg, Klima Biennale Wien, Muzeum umění Olomouc, Diagonale, Secession, Kunstraum Lakeside, Belvedere 21, Kunsthalle Wien, and the Museum der Moderne Salzburg.
Lisa Truttmann
Lisa Truttmann (*1983) is an artist and filmmaker based in Vienna. In her practice she combines documentary, essayistic, and poetic strategies to explore the sociologies and ecologies of landscapes and architecture. She is particularly interested in the relationships between human, nonhuman and material agencies, and the spaces in which they unfold. Truttmann understands her subjective view as a form of approximation, and her artistic process as an attempt to playfully grasp complex systems. She weaves together collected materials such as images, sounds, texts, and objects into associative installations and rhythmic montages. Shifting shape between cinema and exhibition space, her works reflect the language of their medium.
Truttmann completed her first feature-length essay film “Tarpaulins” in 2017 and is currently editing her second. Following a devastating fire in 2019 that destroyed her apartment and studio, her practice has turned toward investigating the material echoes and personal consequences of this radical event. In her new film, she guides us through a fictional, seemingly endless building, where things begin to tell their own stories.
MARLIES PÖSCHL
MARLIES PÖSCHL (b. 1982) is an artist, filmmaker, curator and educator. She is currently based in Vienna (AT) and works internationally. Pöschl teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. As co-founder and chairperson of The Golden Pixel Cooperative, an association for moving images, she has developed artistic-curatorial strategies for exhibitions, screenings and projects in public space with a focus on feminism and ecology.
Shifting between artistic, curatorial and educational approaches, Pöschl is interested in art as a form of knowledge production. She understands filmmaking as social practice and often collaborates with actors from outside the art world in search for polyphonic narrations and open-ended dramaturgies. Recently, Pöschl has focused on ways in which western societies respond to the ‘care crisis’.
Miae Son
Miae Son (born in Seoul, South Korea) lives and works in Vienna. Since 2009, she has been based in Germany and Austria, working with performative video and installation. She captures precise moments from her everyday life as a migrant in Europe, reflecting on the complexity of the structural conditions she encounters. In her videos, acts of making often appear as performative gestures, blurring the line between process and action.
She is currently developing a project that uses her own name as a medium to explore linguistic confusions and playful shifts arising from her experiences of migration.
MIRJAM BROMUNDT
Mirjam Bromundt lives in Vienna and works internationally as a film projectionist and cinema technician. She studied Graphic Design, Media and Communication Studies at the University of Vienna and the University of Valencia, and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Critical Studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Her work spans various areas of technical support at film festivals such as Rotterdam, Cairo, Oberhausen, Locarno, and Berlin, as well as projection at the Austrian Film Museum. In her artistic practice, she explores the construction of reality, the apparatus of cinema, and the cinematic space.
Nathalie Koger
Nathalie Koger (*Oberkirch, Black Forest) is a visual artist, filmmaker, and researcher based in Vienna. Her practice encompasses films, moving image installations, publications, GPC-podcasts, and workshops, characterized by collaborative working methods, multiple perspectives, and a process-oriented approach. She understands filmmaking as a social practice in which methods of encounter and open dramaturgies play central roles. In-situ methods and strategies of appropriation are also essential elements of her work.
In “In Parliament” (2025), the assembly hall of the Austrian National Council in Vienna serves as the starting point for a cinematic exploration of political space, representation, and public participation. The project examines the symbolic charge, architectural design, and materiality of the plenary chamber. Since its renovation in 2023, the hall has opened up to the city through a new glass dome, emphasizing both the physical and metaphorical connection between institutional power and the public. This gesture of openness is echoed in the filmic work, in which an acrobat temporarily appropriates the space through movement and elements of street performance. Architecture, corporeality, and original sound merge into a rhythmic interplay that renders the hall as a kaleidoscopic stage of political imagination.
Olena Newkryta
Olena Newkryta (*1990, Ukraine) is a visual artist based in Vienna. Her research-based practice investigates the material, historical, and political dimensions of the techno-social environment we inhabit, addressing especially the incorporation of human labour in techno-capitalist infrastructures. Through films and multimedia installations she has been examining the tensions between tech capitalism and resilient gestures, isolated individuals and connected digital networks, processes of invisibilisation and image making. Inspired by glitches, techno-feminist theory and the emancipatory potential of communal practice, her works seek to establish perspectives that disrupt hegemonic narratives and open realms of seeing and imagining otherwise.
Building on her previous works such as “Patterns Against Workers” (2023) and “This Aggregate of Images That Is the Universe (STARS)” (2025) which examine histories of automation, labour and production of knowledge, Olenas current research investigates contemporary manifestations of depression and anxiety in light of globalised precarisation, commodification of mental health and the colonisation of the neurological field by bio-technological industries.
Pille-Riin Jaik
Pille-Riin Jaik (born 1991 in Tallinn, Estonia) is a Vienna based interdisciplinary artist working with camera based mediums, performance and sound as well as with various weavings in textual or spatial form. She has a Bachelor of Photography from the Estonian Academy of Fine Arts and Master of Art and Digital Media at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Currently she is working on her PhD research about political and poetic storytelling in Baltic landscapes in Academy of Fine Arts Vienna PhD in Practice Program and is also a member of Golden Pixel Cooperative. Her artistic work is focused on text, plants, textile, storytelling, surplus and waste materials/thoughts in feminist and class aware discourse.
