Artistic practice in the scope of conceptual and process art, site specific intervention, sound sculpture and performance.
Paul Gründorfer develops process-related systems and explores variable or unstable conditions within the occurrence of sound when exposed to amplification, feedback and plural signal streams.

His works focus on processes that evolve in a social space, where sound is considered a found object and event, that directly relates to, influences and reflects the environment. They are dealing with the instability of systems, questioning the role of control and reaction, and researching mechanisms of hidden signals.
