Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on May 17, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Valie Export! May your day be as bold and boundary-pushing as your legendary performances. From challenging societal norms with "Tap and Touch Cinema" to redefining artistic expression through provocative installations, you've always kept us on our toes—and occasionally scratching our heads in delightful confusion.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more groundbreaking moments (and perhaps fewer puzzled gallery-goers). Keep inspiring the world by turning socio-political commentary into unforgettable art—because let's face it, nobody does multimedia mischief quite like you. Cheers to another fearless trip around the sun filled with creativity, laughter, and endless applause!
