Ben Christ
b. 2000
Multi-media artist based in Berlin.
In my interdisciplinary practice, I examine forms of violence embedded in digital technologies and contemporary culture — such as surveillance, data extraction, and algorithmic control. As emerging technologies reshape social and political relations, they promise improved living conditions while simultaneously producing new mechanisms of exclusion and harm. My work challenges the assumption that such forms of violence are inevitable or necessary drivers of progress.
Combining academic research, interviews, and on-site investigation, I work across media including 3D rendering and printing, AI-generated imagery, photography, video, and internet-sourced material. Through these approaches, I trace how technological systems materialise, operate, and inscribe themselves into everyday life.
