Robert Henke (DE)

Robert Henke is a Berlin-based digital artist. He creates laser installations and composes electronic music. His work is inspired by the rawness of radical club culture and the richness of music. Henke is a pioneer in the field of multi-channel spatial sound and wavefield synthesis. The long-term project Monolake, founded in 1995 together with Gerhard Behles, became one of the key icons of the new electronic music scene emerging in Berlin after the fall of the Wall. He is also the creator of Ableton Live, the legendary software for electronic music. His installations, performances and concerts have been presented at Tate Modern in London, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, PS1 in New York, MAK in Vienna, KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin, STRP Biennale in Eindhoven and many festivals including Unsound, CTM, MUTEK, Sonar and New Forms Festival.
