Oliver Laric
Oliver Laric is an Austrian artist, born in Innsbruck in 1981. He graduated from the University of Applied Arts Vienna in 2007. He’s been part of the so-called “post-internet” artistic movement since 2006.
His first works of art were published on the VVORK blog, a shrine to digital art debate, hosting discussions on how digital artworks can be more highly appreciated and valued.
Using a progression of videos (2009–2012) known as Versions, he ponders on the changeable nature of online images, demonstrating that graphical creations are no longer fixed entities and that they are all likely to inspire others and be modified, manipulated or even hijacked.

Biography
Oliver Laric is an internet-based artist, born 1981 in Austria, now lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He has educated in University of Applied Arts Vienna (Class of 2007). But as the theme of his work relates to concepts of authorship, truth, original and copy this biography might not be exactly correct. When Domenico Quaranta asked him : "According to my Google searches, you were born in Leipzig and Innsbruck, you are black and Caucasian, and you have said: “I usually give fake CVs when I am asked to give a CV. Recently I started giving real ones.” And now?"
Oliver Laric replied: "I am hiring a writer to develop multiple biographies." [1]
He publishes his artworks online on his website: oliverlaric.com in chronological order. He is also a co-founder of vvork.com that in 2006 together with a group of friends founded. VVORK is an art blog acting as an exhibition space and, occasionally, a curatorial plat
