Lia’s pieces in the re:move series have been refining much of her earlier outputs in more focused pieces in the project Turux. It’s all, of course, about mathematics and geometry; it’s all about motion, time, and simplicity. It’s about creating complex interaction and generative audiovisual experiences, where the pieces are open to the inputs of the user: it’s about creating systems in which the control over the events is shared between the author and the user. Some pieces have already been described as “drawing machines” in the sense that they provide the user with fundamental tools for graphical manipulation, but this classification is oversimplistic, as all the pieces indeed provide the tools and the framework for elaborating the compositions but simultaneously do not allow for full control of the output since their dynamic nature makes them evolve and mutate and their presentation is void of operating instructions of any sort, leading the user to hands-on experimentation. By interacting with the pieces, human interference is added to the system: by selectively changing some of the variables that govern it and increasing the overall complexity of the audiovisual outputs generated to the point where surprising unpredictable compositions arise.

Lia defines herself as a "graphikprogrammer". Some people define her as a digital artist and she's also frequently called a designer. All of these are true, as they define what she does or in her word, how she does it. Born in Graz, Lia studied trough music highschool and later moved to Vienna to study fashion design. Since 1995 she started using the computer as her main artistic tool, developing a very close relation to her tool and to the media she works with. Since 1997 she co-founded the online project Turux and in 1999 she premiered her personal Re:Move project. Both have been awarded with the Josef Binder award in the "vision" category in 1998 and 2000. Since 2000 she has been regularly performing live generated visuals with the music project @c+lia (http://www.at-c.org), developing design projects in cooperation with revdesign.pt and working in the project wofbot.org. In 2003 she is a founding member of the Crónica media label (http://www.cronicaelectronica.org) that aims to release new music and art. [text by miguel carvalhais, 04/2003]
