Gudrun Zacharias – Editor-in-chief
“Engaging with photography – and, by extension, with media art – is so enriching because its unique appeal gives rise to a freedom that is mysterious and provocative, subtle and political, experimental, opulent or radically minimalist, thereby constantly opening up new ways in which we see, feel and understand the world.”
Patrizia Feichter – Editor
“Rethinking conventions, assuming unusual perspectives, experimenting and constantly relearning how to see – art is a challenge that sharpens our senses to perceive what is essential.”
Thomas Ballhausen – Senior Scientist
“Nothing is as practical and vibrant as sound theory; no field is as diverse as contemporary international media art; and nothing is as necessary as a serious critique of the arts directed at the established reality.”
Wolfgang Giegler – Executive & Program Manager
“When the images disappear, the world disappears.”

Institute for Photography and Media Art
Since 1991, EIKON has been a key platform for contemporary photography and media art.
As an internationally networked magazine, online platform and exhibition space in Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier, we combine artistic practice and theoretical discourse with curated education and presentation. Our mission is to promote, document and reflect on contemporary visual productions and forms of media expression. In doing so, we create space for critical engagement, new perspectives and the long-term visibility of artistic positions.
Connection
Based in Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier, we are firmly rooted in one of Europe’s most important cultural hubs. Through an extensive network of artists, writers, curators and institutions, we promote international exchange and collaboration across geographical and disciplinary boundaries.
Our showroom in the MuseumsQuartier offers artists the opportunity to showcase their portfolios in a curated context. In addition, EIKON is published quarterly as a bilingual magazine (German/English) and reaches an international specialist audience.
Photography and Media Art
EIKON is dedicated to an open, critical and discursive engagement with photography and media art. We view images as social actors and encourage reflection on them within the interplay between art, technology and the public sphere. We enhance the visibility of contemporary artistic practices, foster sustainable networks and contribute to international discourse in the fields of photography and media art.
