Aram Bartholl’s work creates an interplay between internet, culture and reality. How do our taken-for-granted communication channels influence us? Bartholl asks not just what humans are doing with media, but what media is doing with humans. Tensions between public and private, online and offline, techno-lust and everyday life are at the core of his work, and his public interventions and installations, often entailing surprisingly physical manifestations of the digital world, challenge our concepts of reality and incorporeality. Bartholl has exhibited at the MoMA, New York, 2011; Skulptur Projekte Münster, Münster, 2017; and Venice Biennale, Venice, 2017; as well as conducting countless workshops, talks and performances internationally.
