Maximilian Oprishka

Maximilian Oprishka is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of sound, visual language and new media. With an expressed interest in science, futurism and the dilemmas of forward-thinking technologies, Oprishka explores these narratives through cinematic sound scores and photosurrealist visual media. His works span a multitude of media, such as multiple full-length albums, numerous live performances, installations, scores for film and theatre, plus visual works for world-renowned clients like Google, Netflix, Lessloss and the History Channel. With each new project, Oprishka continues to merge and melt various genres to explore and narrate the “tomorrow”.

An interest in design, the arts and sound phenomena became second nature in Oprishka’s youth (the Meinheld alias, first double vinyl album in 2012) thanks to a mixture of various music and fine art schools, although, after a chain of curious events, Oprishka landed in the Department of Philosophy for his studies. Not deferring his interest in the arts, but while studying the likes of Hegel, Oprishka developed a fascination with the modern tradition of psychoanalytical/societal connoisseurs like Lacan and Foucault – all of whom fuelled his interest in society’s dilemmas,

transported to the realm of future technology.

His early bird Fume alias experiments began in 2013, not long after completing his Philosophy studies. Oprishka became the co-founder of the interdisciplinary design studio OPDN in 2015.
