MACHFELD (Michael Mastrototaro & Sabine Maier) was founded 1999 in Vienna. Based on the identically named cyber-novel, they developed an art-label with the focal points: web-art, short- and experimental films, streaming-projects, interactive installations as well as works for the public space.
Projects, exhibitions and installations / screenings in Africa, Europe, Central-America, North-America and in the USA. Since 2004 MACHFELD runs an interdisciplinary Medialab in Vienna.
