WARREN NEIDICH
Geb. 1958 in New York, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin und Los Angeles
Warren Neidich studierte Fotografie, Video und kognitive Neurowissenschaften, Medizin sowie Architektur. Er war Professor an der Kunsthochschule Weißensee in Berlin und Gastwissenschaftler am Otis College für Kunst und Design in Los Angeles. Neidich ist Gründungsdirektor des Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art.
Als Autor, Kunsttheoretiker und interdisziplinärer postkonzeptueller Künstler beschäftigt sich WARREN NEIDICH mit der Frage, wie die digitalen Möglichkeiten unsere Gewohnheiten, Wahrnehmungen und Vorstellungen verändern. Seine Untersuchungen bewegen sich im künstlerischen Forschungsfeld der Neuroästhetik, in dem Sinneseindrücke, Wahrnehmung und Bewusstsein mithilfe von Techniken, Methoden, Geräten, Kritiken und der Geschichte von künstlerischer Produktion erforscht werden.

WARREN NEIDICH
Born in New York in 1958, lives and works in Berlin and Los Angeles
Warren Neidich studied photography, video and cognitive neurosciences, medicine and architecture. He taught at Berlin Weissensee School of Art and was a visiting academic at the Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Neidich is the founding director of the Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art.
As an author, art theoretician and interdisciplinary post-conceptual artist, WARREN NEIDICH examines how digital possibilities change our habits, perceptions and ideas. His exploratory work focuses on the neuroaesthetics field of artistic research, in which sensory impressions, perception and consciousness are examined with the aid of techniques, methods, devices, critiques and the history of artistic production.
