Wittig
Christiane Wittig, was born in Germany, graduated as a
Media Artist from the Bauhaus-University Weimar in 2002.
She continued to develop her artworks in Sydney, Australia
and Brussels, Belgium where she did postgraduate study in
Art Media and Design at Transmedia (Sint-Lukas University,
Brussels). In 2006 she was awarded a scholarship from the
Else-Heiliger Fond (EHF) at the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation
in Berlin, Germany. Wittig’s projects include interactive
media installations as well as film and photography. Her
interactive compositions bring the spectator into the
fragile cycle of emergence and misdemeanours.
Her work has been exhibited in various private and
corporate collections in Belgium and Germany. Wittig lives
and works in Brussels, Belgium and Chemnitz, Germany.
In the interactive installations, Christiane Wittig has
produced to date, the body and technology are prominent
themes, as they relate to the concepts of preservation,
endurance and fragility.
