Sebastian Wolf (born 1989) is a German Media artist and designer. In his work he explores "novel technologies and their inherent aesthetic and emotional potential"[1] through interactive kinetic and light installations, usually incorporating natural elements. He lives and works in Berlin.[2]
Wolf holds a BFA in Media Art from Bauhaus University and a postgraduate degree in New Media from Berlin University of the Arts where he studied under Professor Joachim Sauter. He also studied Art & Media at Tama Art University as well as Contemporary Art at Nagoya Zokei University in Japan.[3] [4] [5]
Wolf's work has been shown internationally, most notably at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, Tokyo,[6] [7] the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe[8] and frequently at the Ars Electronica Festival, Linz.[9] [10] [11] Other exhibitions include the European Media Art Festival,[12], transmediale,[13] and Scopitone Festival.[14]
In 2016 he received the Zebrastraat New Technological Art Award[15] for his work "Brume", a sculpture entirely made of ultralight mist. For his 2019 work "drawhearts", in which a machine utilizes vapour to produce ephemeral hand-drawn heart shapes on a pane of glass, he has been awarded the 2020 New Face Award (Art Division) of the 23rd Japan Media Arts Festival.[16] [17]
