KIM ASENDORF -------------------------------- Kim Asendorf is a conceptual artist and works in a large area of media and digital related art. He loves to transport things from the Internet into real life and back. Kim did several net art projects, often based on data taken from the Internet or gathered from other individuals through the Internet. He works very experimental with generative strategies, physical computing, data and glitch. Most of his works leads into installations, sculptures, visualizations and abstract geometric art, but also into applications, animated gifs or noisy sounds. In 2010 he coined the term "pixel sorting", an algorithmic image manipulation process with unique results. Born in 1981 in Achim, near Bremen. Trained as an industrial electrician in 1999 at Daimler.

Driven by curiosity and the basic idea of a do-gooder, he uses all the known techniques and methods to express oneself. "Creativity is the act of rebellion by definition. You have to be downright subversive to break the rules and to confront conventional wisdom, don’t you? And if everyone accepts what you are doing when you are doing it, you’re obviously not on the forefront and you are doing something that is within the paradigm. If every accepts what I am doing, I’m in the wrong field." (Prof. Allan Snyder) -------------------------------- ❦ Exhibitions Solo: 2013 Zu Gast im Rektorat #6: Kim Asendorf, Rektorat, Kunsthochschule Kassel (Curated by Christian Philipp Müller) Group: 2013 Transmediale, Back When Pluto Was A Planet, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (Curated by Jacob Lillemose) Offline Art: NEW2, Xpo Gallery, Paris (Curated by Aram Bartholl) Parcel, Bronx Art Space, New York (Curated by Rollin Leonard) (ᴳ̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̐litch) Art Genealogies, LEAP, Berlin (Curated by Rosa Menkman & John McKiernan) Glitch Aesthetic, Counterpath, Denver (Curated by Michael Flatt) Rrrecycle Bin, Future Tenant Art Gallery, Pittsburgh (Curated by John Zobele) When Analog was Periodical, Z-Bar, Berlin (Curated by Lorna Mills and Anthony Antonellis) 2012 OddPoetics, Overlapping Biennial, The Biennial of Young Artists, Bucharest (Curated by Lea Rasovszky, Silvia Saitoc & Matei Sâmihăian) Born in 1987, The Photographers' Gallery, London (Curated by Katrina Sluis) Exciting Virtuals, Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Ταινιών Μικρού Μήκους Δράμας, Melina, Dráma (Curated by Georges Jacoty) Parcel, X as Y as Z Pop-up Gallery, Portland Maine (Curated by Rollin Leonard) DITHER_DØØM: ∆N INTRØ TØ M∆¥∆N NEW MEDI∆, Oliver Francis Gallery, Dallas (Curated by Alfredo Salazar-Caro) Astral Projection Abduction Fantasy, Monster Truck Gallery, Dublin (Curated by Standard Features) Click Nr. 2, New Media Arts Festival, Helsingør (Workshop) (Curated by Jacob Sikker Remin) Swäg Party, DITHER D00M, Nightingale Theatre, Chicago (Curated by Patrick Quinn) Speed Show Ping!..., Nicola Internet Cafe, Vancouver (Curated by Aureliano Segundo & Aaron Chan) Speed Show Transfer3D, NAVIG@TOR Igielna, Wrocław (Curated by Małgosia Woźnica & Dominik Podsiadly) Speed Show Gifs 4 Life, FoneNet, Galway (Curated by Nora O' Murchú) Speed Show Extra Credit, Penn State, Altoona (Curated by A.
