CV
Born in 1986, lives and works in Vienna and Lower Austria.
Following his training as a graphic designer, Christian Murzek studied
philosophy at the University of Vienna.
In 2012 he started studying at the Akademie der bildenden Künste
(Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna) with Silke Otto-Knapp, Gunter Damisch,
Veronika Dirnhofer and Christian Schwarzwald.
His work focuses on the interface of digital and analogue processes,
where codes and algorithms serve as the starting points of his artistic
expressions and are then transformed into prints, paintings and sculptures.
