About
Artist Statement
(EN) Johannes Thiel (*1999, Germany) is working in a variety of media, from sculptures and installations to digital works in graphics and renderings. His practice moves between organic-futuristic forms and rigid technical constructions, situated within a field of living structures and objects produced by industrial culture. Using mainly automated manufacturing processes like 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC milling, he creates hybrids where computer-generated objects and physical materiality converge. Johannes Thiel is currently studying Fine Arts at the UDK Berlin under Prof. Karsten Konrad, he lives and works in Berlin.
