Aram Bartholl
Aram Bartholl (born 1972, Bremen) is a Berlin-based conceptual artist whose work probes the seams between the digital and the physical — where online platforms, their conventions, and their surveillance apparatus spill into public space. He trained as an architect at the Berlin University of the Arts (2001) and was a member of the F.A.T. Lab (Free Art and Technology) collective from 2009 to 2015. His best-known projects include Map (2006), oversized physical Google Maps markers planted in city squares, and Dead Drops (2010–), an anonymous offline file-sharing network of USB sticks cemented into walls, which received an Honorary Mention at Ars Electronica in 2011. He is Professor of Art with Digital Media at HAW Hamburg.
