Thomas Feuerstein studied art history and philosophy at the University of Innsbruck from 1987 to 1995. In 1992 and 1993 he worked on research assignments on electronic space as well as on art and architecture. From 1997 onwards, he received teaching assignments and guest professorships at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the University of Music and Theatre Bern, the F+F School for Art and Media Design Zurich, the Intermedia course of study at the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences, the Mozarteum Salzburg and the University of Innsbruck. Feuerstein’s works and projects are created in different media. They include installations, environments, BioArt, objects, drawings, paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos, radio plays and net art and encompass processes and transmutations, with specific materialities playing a central role. Materials are used both as carriers of meanings and narratives, and ultimately become actors of art. In the border area of nature, art and science, Feuerstein's works set in motion pataphysical cycles of the production of meaning and possibility, which dissolve distinctions between nature and culture, past and future. Essential aspects are the interplay of linguistic and visual elements, the detection of latent links between facts and fictions as well as the intertwining of art and science. Feuerstein therefore developed the artistic method of "Conceptual Narration”.
