Christoph Korn
Christoph Korn (born 1965 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany) is a German audio and media artist[1] working with diverse artistic forms of expression: Composition and Installation, video, text, net art and improvisation.
Early career
In the 1980s, he was involved in political movements and worked with street children in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in the liberation theological project in 1988 and 1989. At the beginning of the 1990s his first artistic works emerged, even though a political or historical perspective for the subsequent artistic work always remained definitive. From 1992–1998, he studied Political Science and Philosophy in Frankfurt upon Main at the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe University.
Artistic work
In the last few years, he has increasingly used the strategy of deleting and withdrawing. As an example, see Waldstueck network installation[2]
