Biography

Johannes Pöll has started as a researcher and artist at the Ars Electronica Futurelab in 2017. Already ten years prior to this tenure, he performed as a Computational Noise musician at the Interferenz-, Elevate– and certainly the Ars Electronica Festival.

Changing preferences from the computed auditive to the generative visual world, the multimedia artist moved to Berlin in 2013. At onformative, he is looking for inspiration and experience at the crossroads of natural sciences, art and technology.

Next to his work as lead designer at the Ars Electronica Futurelab he researches time-based, aesthetic processes of spatial art as an explanatory model of complex processes. Johannes spends his sparce leisure on the skateboard, designing occult graphics and is programming the blastbeat signal processing of his post post black metal band Galtür.
