Summary
Baruch Gottlieb is a multidisciplinary digital artist, curator and academic with over a decade of experience producing media art, public installations and international sound-art festivals. He has founded and directed projects from the SFX Seoul festival to the FEEDBACK traveling exhibition series, and has led major curatorial efforts at institutions including ZKM and the Akademie der Künste. As a lecturer and artist-researcher at the University of Arts Berlin and Universität der Künste, he bridges theory and practice teaching digital aesthetics, data narrativity and media theory. His practice spans spontaneous performance to permanent public commissions and experimental web-to-street interventions, and he combines filmmaking, DSP and computational media implementation with event building and archival digitization. Notably, he has built speculative infrastructures like the AFRO art-currency and M-AFRO database projects, revealing a sustained interest in art-as-system and transnational cultural imaginaries. Located in the Greater New York City area, he balances academic credentials (including advanced doctoral work in philosophy of communications) with hands-on studio and curatorial leadership.
