[edit] Andreas Troeger

Andreas Troeger[[1]] (1961) is an American/European artist. Born and raised in Munich, Germany. He has been living in the East Village, Manhattan of New York City since 1992. After graduating Film school in Munich, Germany, he was awarded a scholarship by the German Academic Exchange Service to study additional film productions at NYU.

In the early nineties he collaborated with video art superstar Nam June Paik, political video and Internet activist Paul Garrin, avant-garde filmmakers such as Nick Zedd and Iara Lee (Synthetic Pleasures and Architettura) and in 2007, published his first book ANTI BIOGRAPHY.

Best known as avant-garde film and video artist, he was awarded the German-Short-Film-Award, in 1990, for Lifepak, and created plenty of controversy, in 1992, with his unique art-documentary Path, a film about pathology workers performing an autopsy and the video installation Strom, an extremely graphic depiction of missus of electric current in society.

In 1996-1998 he programmed and co-designed the Internet art project namespace, which was designed to free the Internet from corporate and government control and expanded the artificial limitation of TLDs imposed on the Internet users by Network Solutions and IANA. The project was honored by the ARS Electronica.

Next to working as an independent filmmaker and being a former creative, finishing editor for the Montel Williams Show—he is writing his second book about the West Bank and the peace process in the Middle East.
