Carsten Nicolai

Borrn in Karl-Marx-Stadt (Chemnitz) in 1965. He has studied landscape architecture in Dresden and currently based in Berlin and Chemnitz. He was awarded the Golden Nica prize in Ars Electronica festival in digital music and interactive art categories in years 2000 and 2001. He uses electronic sound and visual art as a kind of hybrid- tool to create his own microscopic view of creative processes and is presently considered to be one of the most important representatives of an artist generation purposefully exploring the points of intersection between art, nature and science.
