» Robert Seidel


Robert Seidel (1977) began studying biology at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and finished his media design diploma at the Bauhaus University. His films have been shown in a museal context, as well as over 250 festivals, galleries, magazines, books and TV programmes worldwide. In his films Seidel is interested in pushing the boundaries of organic beauty and their emotional perception with visual and scientific technology. By layering different structural, spatial and temporal concepts organically he creates a slowly evolving complexity. Watch Futures, _grau, E3, and all his vimeo page if you have the time. Recently he began to expand his experimental films to an architectural canvas. As one example he turned a natural history museum (Phyletic Museum, Jena, Germany) into a “breathing creature” with a combination film projection, synched light choreography and a dramatic soundtrack he created a gigantic virtual sculpture (100x125x80 meters) for the Art Center Nabi (Seoul, South Korea). Besides his personal art he works as a director, curator and journalist. For his Zero 7 music video he was chosen as one of "30 directors to watch" by Canada's leading commercial production magazine "boards".
