RHIZOM
RHIZOM is permanently established in Graz and conceives itself as a non-hierarchically organized collective. RHIZOM features the infracultural background for individual and collective artistic autonomy.
Our work focuses on international projects of cultural exchange on the one hand and on local conditions and ongoing events on the other. RHIZOM pursues intuitive, transdisciplinary and participatory context-art. The objective is to make our own cultural concepts more transparent, to perceive the “very different beast”, to find new points of contact and to connect what has not been connected in that specific way before. The artistic approach follows a process-oriented, open conceptual design, in which medial possibilities are being tested allowing for on-site reaction. In the end it is content which determines the medium.
Issues of form, conditions and value of non-commercial art-work are integral parts of RHIZOM-art.

Billy Roisz & Dieter Kovačič - Jump! Cut.
Roisz Kovacic Jumpcut (Videostill) 2024, Courtesy: Roisz Kovacic
Jump! Cut. is a walk-in, interactive, audiovisual installation by Dieter Kovačič and Billy Roisz, in which the audience determines the sequence and thus both the image and sound level through their position in the room. The starting point is the video piece Four Mortifications. This will then be set to music live by Roisz and Kovačič during the vernissage at Rhizom and will then form the audiovisual trail of the installation, in and along which the audience can move, recomposing the existing image and sound material.
- Artists:
- Billy Roisz
- Vienna-based musician and filmmaker Billy Roisz has been a driving force in the experimental music scene for many years. Self-taught, she stems from the extremely open DIY environment of the digital and analog electronic and noise scene in Vienna at the beginning of the 21st century. She has earned critical acclaim for her artistic work, which ranges from the cinematic (her films are regularly screened at major film festivals such as Berlinale-Shorts or the IFF Rotterdam) to pure audio works. Her first solo release Walking The Monkey dates back to 2012 (Editions Mego) and in 2023 she released her successor Bajo on Ventil Records. The aesthetics of image and sound glitches, such as feedback and distortion, are central to her sense of experimentation. She does audio-visual live performances, concerts, cinematic works, and spatial installations, often solo, but also in close collaboration with artists from the fields of experimental electronics and noise.
