About

David Schweinfurth (b. 1985) is an artist and scientist based in the Frankfurt area, Germany. His practice is a discourse on signs and their meaning, offering an augmented perspective that places both sight and touch on equal footing. Revisiting traditional media through the lense of novaday’s technology it seeks to reconcile art and science, body and machine, intuition and computation.

With a background in natural sciences and philosophy, his artistic approach reflects both scientific methods and philosophical inquiry. Classical research cycles based on modeling- computation-experimentation-analysis are reimagined as a creative process that flows from the digital to the analog. In this process, industrial production methods—such as laser cutting and CNC routing—are used hand in hand with traditional manual techniques like ink drawing, manifesting in artworks meant to be experienced in time and space. Only then unfolds a dialogue of open ends, unique to the experience of art that moves beyond concept, process, and technique.
