Martin Dörr
Martin Dörr (b.1990, Pirmasens) is a german artist, working conceptually in the field of sculpture, media and in­stal­­la­tion. In mostly site specific in­stal­lations, he procedurally investigates and intervenes in analogue and digitally extended locations and their underlying systems. Spaces, visitors, material and data should become part of a transformative physical and social reconfig­uration process, asking for alternative narratives in a technologized, networked habitat.
