Biography/History:

Ulf Langheinrich was born in Wolfen, Sachsen Anhalt, Germany in 1960. Ulf's projects utilise photography, sound and video, light, and technology, to create sensory environments that seek to question the conventions of multimedia. The career of Ulf Langheinrich is best known for his internationally acclaimed work in the two-man group, Granular Synthesis. The project, which began in 1991 with these two self-proclaimed "media terrorists", does more in the way of a performance than it does to define the men involved. A number of his recent solo installations and performances have been held in group exhibitions and international art fairs, and include Hemisphere, Sensi sotto sopra/Roma Europa, Roma, (2006); and Perm, Cinemas of Future/Lille 2004 Cultural Capital of Europe, Dutch Electronic Art Festival, Rotterdam, Body Media/Shanghai Culture Space (2003-07). Their numerous projects have been exhibited at a variety of locations over recent years, including Modell 5, premiered in a first version at the ICA London (1994) and most recently presented either in installation or performance versions at Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne, VEO Festival, Valencia, Body Media/Shanghai Culture Space (1994-2007), among others; Since 2003, Ulf has received much recognition, working as a guest professor at both the Academy of Visual Arts, University of Leipzig, Germany at the FH Salzburg University, Austria. He was also the featured artist at Ars Electronica in 2005 and an artist in residence at RMIT University, Melbourne in 2006. www.epidemic.net WAVEFORM B was originally developed for ARS ELECRONICA with a SIEMENS stipendium.
