Curriculum vitae
Daniel Franke
Daniel Franke (1982) works as an artist, designer and music video director in Berlin. His works challenge the restrictions of conventional spatial frameworks and – concepts: digital simulations should no longer be limited to an on-screen-display; instead the digital might be imagined as transferable into real space and thus extend perceptions of “the real”. Ultimately digital spaces should leave the realm of the virtual and enter the tactile.
This approach is present in works like „Spatial Sound Sculpture“ and „Durchsehen Exp. 01 (Augmented Perspective)“.
Daniel is a graduate of the University of Arts where he currently finished his masters degree (Meisterschüler) mentored by Prof. Joachim Sauter and Prof. Alberto de Campo. He is a Member of the WeAreChopChop Collective. In 2011 he co-founded the project space LEAP (Lab for Electronic Arts and Performance) in Berlin.
