Christl Baur (DE) is the head of the Ars Electronica Festival, researcher with an interdisciplinary background in art history, cultural management, and natural science. She is particularly interested in the conjunction of aesthetic and social practices that center on collaboration and experimentation and challenge dominant social, political, and economic protocols. Her research field encompasses topics such as video art, new media technologies, computer art, biotechnology, and interactive art, and she works at the nexus of art & science.
Over recent years, she has curated, produced and delivered large-scale exhibitions and performances, research, residency & publication projects—most recently in cooperation with universities and scientific associations such as Google Arts & Culture, Frauenhofer, ESO, ESA, Hyundai as well as the Chinese University of Art Beijing. She has published several articles and works closely together with artists whose practice is situated at the interface of art, science, and technology.
