David Haneke

David Haneke (born August 13, 1965, in Vienna, Austria) is an Austrian video designer, director, and camera operator.

He grew up in Vienna, where he graduated from a Waldorf School and studied cello under Professor Wolfgang Ebert from 1974 to 1984.

The focus of his work is on stage video designs, which are projected onto various surfaces as integral parts of the mise-en-scène of opera, theater, and dance performances.

In 2016 David Haneke replaced the late video artist Bruce Geduldig as a member of US cult band Tuxedomoon on their Half-Mute European tour.

While appearing as a performer in various Dutch theater productions and short films, his work increasingly focused on stage video designs.
