Johannes Winkler * 1984, lives and works as a freelance media artist, composer and lecturer in Essen, Germany. His more recent work explores recursive relationships between 'counting and dreaming' and includes visual, auditory and conceptual works. Since 2017 he has been re-composing his wide-ranging oeuvre in audiovisual works and lectures - as artistic research in image / film, text and music.

On Instagram, Johannes Winkler re-composes his oeuvre as audio-visual 'slide compositions'. Each post represents a multi-page work and is telling, documenting, anticipating - about the cybernetic everyday, metaphysics and aesthetics: people and art - people and numbers - people and nature - people and people.
See all 100+ compositions on Instagram:
winkler.works
In order to keep them alive, the 'slide compositions' are deconstructed again in different contexts: e.g. in lectures (see below) and on his second Instagram account @ deconstructed.stories ...
This graphic illustrates the entire process ("from digital bubble to empiric trouble" - and back ...)
In his lecture performances, J. Winkler creates events in the form of lectures and situations. The 'slide compositions' are rearranged / modified around a core theme (and re-integrated later). This generates open learning experiences / 'aesthetic learning contexts'.

J. Winkler's motivation: backgrounds
Since 2018, our growing team of experienced southindian and german artists is teaching & researching advanced techniques of counting musical time-structures ('Konnakol' / 'carnatic rhythm'). Inspired also by Rafael Reina's PhD thesis (2014) about the application of special southindian-carnatic rhythm-techniques to the incorporation and creation of complex western (contemporary) music, we developed a course module-system with various contents specialized for typical needs of western musicians, composers, conductors, dancers and music-pedagogues aimed at students/professionals and step-by-step courses for beginners.
We are also working with time-relations between body, mind and software ('Digitus Manus - Digital Counting') and offer a docking station for language- and speech research (neuropsycholinguistics, speechtherapy).
