Johanna Steindorf, media artist
KISDtalk speaker Johanna Steindorf stresses about her upcoming lecture: “In the video series ‘present views of past streets’, you are taken along imaginary walks in Google Street View. In audio walks such as ‘the woman of the crowd’ a voice speaks over headphones and accompanies you on an actual walk outside. Many of my works deal with mediated presences, with the real-and-imagined presence of bodies in space. In this talk, I will present different works, look at them from the perspective of the current crisis, and propose a discussion on the impact that the mediated experience has on our lives and what possible futures we can imagine.”
Johanna Steindorf is a German-Brazilian media artist. She holds a bachelor’s degree from PUC-Rio de Janeiro in Visual Communication (2005), a diploma from the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne (2009), and a Ph.D. from the Bauhaus-University (2019). Johanna has been teaching regularly at different universities since 2015, including the University of Cologne and the University of Siegen.
