About Speaker

Using elements of kinetics and robotics, Liebl and Schmid-Pfähler create sculptures and installations that explore the effects of technical developments on aesthetic and social aspects of life. In their works, material qualities of a visual and haptic nature are just as important as programmed processes, algorithms and physical laws. As a duo, they graduated in Electronic Art as well as Sociology and Theory of Media at the Offenbach University of Art and Design in 2017. Liebl and Schmid-Pfähler founded the interdisciplinary studio house "Atelier Wäscherei". The former laundry building in Offenbach, which they converted themselves, has since 2019 been the workplace of sixteen artists, as well as a platform for exchange and a venue for events.
