Simon Hundsbichler
is a graphic designer based in Vienna, Austria. Moving across a wide range of media, his practice remains centered on the elementary matters of the discipline, focusing on the arrangement, sequencing and sampling of visual material, mediating the relation between image and text. He takes a critical interest in the tools and formats he employs, which at times themselves become the subject of his work.

SCREENTIME
explores the intrinsic time of screen-based media through two complementary manifestations of time – the ghost image and the screensaver. The ghost image preserves past states as an irreversible material footprint, permanently burned into the display through pixel aging. In response, the screensaver acts as a technical countermeasure, protecting the screen through subtle animation. Inspired by the concept of the cinemagraph, this standby mode freezes the moment into a paradoxical state, oscillating between still and moving image. The image is built upon an infinite, seamless loop that erases any sense of beginning or end, lingering as a romanticized place of longing. These two phenomena enter into a dialogue where the ghost image autonomously preserves an echo of the past, while the screensaver simulates an endless, hypnotic present. The project poses the question of how digital media shift our perception of time and how supposedly transient images leave behind permanent, material traces.
