Stefan Doepner

primarily works in technologically based art, robotics and sound. His work focuses on the artistic exploration of today's use, reception and rules of technology. To analyze and understand contemporary systems and techniques, and especially technology as a system which marks tremendously our daily life, he acquires the method of reinvention. For him it is necessary to deconstruct and rebuild contemporary systems and techniques which mark our daily life. He is building his own technological tools – which are often developed in a close collaboration with other artists, researchers, and engineers from various fields –, while also building/constructing poetic situations in which our daily routine as a type of machinery is interrupted. In his work, Doepner tries to unveil the relations between society, technology, science, and everyday life through meditation on and mediation of artistic approached technological visions.
