From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ralf Baecker (born 1977 in Düsseldorf) is a German artist known for his installation works that use complex electronic systems.[1][2][3] Baecker studied media art at Cologne's Academy of Media Arts.[4][2]

Work

[edit]

Baecker's Irrational Computing, created in 2014, used elemental quartz crystals to create a basic signal processing unit.[5] Created the same year, Mirage employed a luminous red light projection based on readings of the Earth's magnetic field.[6][7][8] In 2015 he received an Honorary mention at Ars Electronica for Mirage.[1] In 2017 his work Order+Noise (Interface I), which uses background radiation data to control mechanical movements, received the grand prize at the Japan Media Arts Festival.[9][10] His 2018 work Putting the Pieces Back together Again involves an array of 1250 stepper motors that create a swarm-like display of mechanical movement.[11][12][13]

Baecker is a professor of experimental design of new technologies at the University of the Arts Bremen.[14][15]
