Sebastian Schmieg
Sebastian Schmieg investigates the algorithmic circulation of images, texts and bodies. He creates playful interventions that penetrate the shiny surfaces of our networked society and explore the realities that lie behind them. In particular, Schmieg focuses on labour, algorithmic management and artificial intelligence. He works in a wide range of media, including videos, websites, installations, artist books, custom software, lecture performances and delivery service. Schmieg studied at the University of the Arts (UdK) in Berlin. His work has been exhibited internationally at Kunsthalle Zürich, The Photographers’ Gallery London, MdbK Leipzig, HeK Basel and Chronus Art Center Shanghai. Schmieg is a professor of interface design at HTW Dresden. He is based in Berlin. https://sebastianschmieg.com/
