Timo Kaabi-Linke

Timo Kaabi-Linke is a writer, philosopher, and art critic who lives and works in Berlin, Germany. His major philosophical concern is how artistic productions and conceptions change under the condition of a technically and socially connected world. He studies pragmatical, political and aesthetic strategies in artistic practices that reflect their ???contemporaneity?? as both a value in the art markets and as a mode of existence. He is also concerned with recent approaches in art history related to ???pragmatical?? and ???iconic turns??, the principle of generalized symmetries and the interplay between humans, programs, and machines. Furthermore, he challenges the role of technologies as agencies of cross-cultural understanding and examines the cognitive effects of optical devices on theoretical interpretations of perception and history during the 20th century. KaabiLinke has participated in international conferences and has published articles in several languages on topics germane to art, cultural studies, political sciences, and studies in technology
