Joachim Blank

Born 1963 in Aachen (Germany), lives in Berlin and Leipzig.

He works together with Karl Heinz Jeron as an artist duo. Since 1991 Blank & Jeron have worked together on different projects, since 1993 Internet projects in the context of art and culture. In 1996 they founded their netart server http://sero.org and realized several projects on "information.recycling" and "information.smog".

They worked on hybrid projects which involve the Internet but extend into real space as hangings, objects, reactive installations and events.

They have shown and presented their work at national and international exhibitions and symposia like documenta x (Germany), netcondition (ZKM, Germany), Ars Electronica (Austria).

Joachim Blank is teaching as an Associate Professor for Media Art at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig.
