Hans-Henning Korb (born 1988, Berlin, Germany) is a contemporary artist and composer based in Berlin.[1]

Background and Education

Hans-Henning Korb completed an MA at the Berlin University of the Arts and studied in the class of Hito Steyerl and at the Olafur Eliasson's Institute for Spatial Experiments (Institut für Raumexperimente).[2] He was a visiting student at the School of Fine Arts at the Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia and the Hunter College in New York City.[3]

Art

Korb belongs to the generation of artists that grew up with the Internet and are often referred to as the Postinternet art movement. He developed a mode of art practice that transgresses traditional categories, combining sculptures, installations, and performances that involve music, film, computer animation, virtual worlds, plants, and organic processes. His aesthetics gives voice to complex contemporary human conditions and reflects on the questions that come to head as of late in contemporary life, such as the question of human autonomy in relation to both ecology and technology[4]. In most works, the physical body is present. You could say there are no bodies in the digital sphere, so it’s interesting that Korb's works deal with the topic of the body and explores the various layers of the human body and consciousness as well as its natural and technological surroundings. Fascinated by the alchemical properties of plants and foods Korb most recently created a series of installations entitled Kaya Cynara that look at the emitting energy of the artichoke plant.
