About

Yannick Harter is a transmedia artist based in Leipzig, exploring digital cultures, technology and their affective potential for societies.

His installations work with video, sound, objects and VR. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, the Art Academy of Latvia in Riga, Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem.

His practice examines interfaces between digital and physical spaces, with the human body understood as a system embedded in and shaped by technological environments.

As co-founder of THIS IS FAKE, he has worked since 2017 on multimedia exhibitions, workshops and panels engaging with virtual reality and immersion.
