Short Bio
Mr Tobias Klein works in the fields of Architecture, Art, Design and interactive Media Installation. Trained as an Architect, his work generates a syncretism of contemporary CAD/CAM technologies with site and culturally specific design narratives, intuitive non-linear design processes, and historical cultural references. Before joining City University Hong Kong, he was employed at the Architectural Association and the Royal College of Art and as Guest Professor at the TU Innsbruck Studio 3, Institute for Experimental Architecture. Klein founded, and has been the director of the Architectural Association’s Visiting School, Post-Industrial Landscapes since 2013. His works are exhibited international at the London Science Museum, the V&A, The Venice Architectural Biennale, the Science Gallery (Melbourne), the container (Tokyo), the Bellevue Arts Museum, Museum of Moscow and Vancouver and in the permanent collection of China’s first 3D Print Museum in Shanghai and Antwerp Fashion Museum (MoMu). He lectures and publishes internationally, recently winning SIGGRAPH 2018’s Best Art Paper Award for his research on the translation from traditional to digital Craftsmanship. His current research uses advanced medical visualisation and Brain Computer Interface technologies to explore the human body and mind as a new ecology of densities in which the dissolution of its anatomical boundaries allows the rethinking and recreating of it as a new physical/representational territory in constant flux and change.
