A Time and Place

Media Architecture 1991–2003

A Time and Place shows the extensive body of work by the German artist Christian Moeller, who lives in Los Angeles. It includes work dating from 1991 to 2003, and describes his fascinating tightrope walk between analogue and digital worlds. This is the first time there has been a monograph consisting of both internet and book pages. Playing to the particular strengths of each medium, A Time and Place gives its readers a book that, strange as it may sound, can be read at a computer that is logged on the internet. The artist’s texts, drawings and photographs in the book are complemented by digitized internet film documentation sequences in image and sound.

Christian Moeller

Christian Moeller (*1959, Frankfurt am Main) is one of the pioneers of interactive art. His light installations and sound sculptures, changing in "real time", have won him an international reputation. After leaving the architectural practice of Behnisch und Partner in Stuttgart, Moeller found his way into digital media through Peter Weibel at the Institut für neue Medien in Frankfurt. In 2001, Moeller moved his studio to Los Angeles, where teaches at the Design / Media Arts department at UCLA, the University of California, Los Angeles.
