Christopher Bauder (born 1973 in Stuttgart) is a German interaction designer and media artist who lives and works in Berlin. The main focus of his projects is the translation of digital information (bits and bytes) into objects and environments and vice versa.
Christopher Bauder studied in the digital class at the Berlin University of the Arts and graduated in 2003. This is when he started working in the field of interactive installation art and design. For his interactive installation ToneLadder he received the Newcomer Award “Multimedia Transfer Award”. In 2005 he was granted a Berlin Postgraduate Fund to realise his interactive art installation BUGS. In 2004 Christopher Bauder founded the design studio WHITEvoid interactive art & design. The studio operates at the interface between art, design and technology. Space, object, sound and interaction are the key elements of all works. The installations and products are created for museums, exhibitions and trade fairs, festivals, concerts and nightclubs and gained worldwide recognition.
Robert B. Henke (born 1969) is a German computer music artist working in the fields of audiovisual installation, music and performance. He was born in Munich, Germany, and lives in Berlin.
Coming from an engineering background, Henke is fascinated by the beauty of technical objects. Developing his own instruments and algorithms is an integral part of his creative process. His materials are computer generated sound and images, field recordings, photography and light; transformed, re-arranged and modulated by mathematical rules, real time interaction and controlled random operations. Many of his works use multiple channels of audio or are specifically conceived for unique locations and their individual properties. For the past few years, he has been exploring the artistic usage of high power lasers in his installations and performances.
Robert Henke is also a co-developer of the music software Ableton Live, alongside Gerhard Behles.
Since 1995 he has produced electronic music under the name of Monolake, (originally founded in collaboration with Gerhard Behles).
Christopher is the English version of a Europe-wide name derived from the Greek name Χριστόφορος (Christóforos). The constituent parts are Χριστός (Christós), "Christ" or "Anointed", and φέρειν (férein), "bear": the "Christ-bearer". It is related to the names Chris meaning "Anointed" and Christian meaning "follower of Christ" or "little Christ" (all from Greek.)
As a given, or first name, Christopher has been in use since the 10th century. In English, Christopher may be abbreviated as "Chris", and sometimes "Kit". Another less common abbreviation "Topher" or "Toph", has come into wider use in the U.S.
It was frequently the most popular male first name in the United Kingdom, having been in the top twenty in England and Wales from the 1940s until 1995, although it has since dropped out of the top 100. The name is most common in England and not so common in Wales, Scotland, or Ireland.
Festival of Lights or Celebration of Light may refer to:
The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer) was a barrier that divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany), starting on 13 August 1961, the Wall completely cut off (by land) West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin until government officials opened it in November 1989. Its demolition officially began on 13 June 1990 and was completed in 1992. The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, which circumscribed a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, "fakir beds" and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc claimed that the Wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East Germany. In practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that had marked East Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period.

GRID Reexamining the nature-technology relationship 22 000 visitors saw the GRID performance by Christopher Bauder (WHITEvoid) and Robert Henke (Monolake) produced by TETRO, at the Fête des Lumières Light Art Festival 2013 in Lyon. GRID is an audio-visual live performance combining kinetic lights with live electronic music. Kinetic lights form a huge suspended maze, which consists of 50 motorized LED-rod triangles covering over 200 square meters. GRID hovers above the spectators, its triangles constantly change position and color in direct response to a live-generated music track. Each and every sound triggers a visual impulse and produces visual alterations of GRID. GRID is an innovative, artistic way of questioning the relationship between nature and technology. It started as 3D com...

Ein verlassenes Bankgebäude. Ein hochrangiger Investmentbanker. Ein beängstigender Bericht aus einer Parallelwelt. Er war einer der führenden Investmentbanker in Deutschland. Er machte Gewinne in Millionenhöhe. Jetzt sitzt er in einer verlassenen Bank mitten in Frankfurt und redet zum ersten Mal. Eine beängstigende Innenperspektive aus einer größenwahnsinnigen, quasi-religiösen Parallelwelt hinter verspiegelten Fassaden.

After researching, discovery and a few pre-interviews with people who were young enough to remember the evening of 9 November 1989, I realized it wasn't about one persons story or one persons thoughts. Berlin is the melting pot of diversity and free thinking. This was a celebration of humanity. Of freedom and remembrance. This light installation "LICHTGRENZE" was powerful and elegant with an emotionally charged effect. The balloons stretched the whole section of where the wall once was and on the evening of 9 November 2014, all the balloons were released as the city and the world watched. For me, getting to the Brandenberg Gate involved some wizardry in tactical climbing and scaling as well as sweet-talking the Berlin Polizei. All with my gear in hand and my atrocious German speaking skill...

Zum 25. Jubiläum des Mauerfalls haben die Brüder Christopher Bauder und Marc Bauder die Lichtgrenze erschaffen. Für drei Tage wird die ehemalige Berliner Mauer wieder aufgebaut, von der Oberbaumbrücke bis zur Bornholmer Straße, aus beleuchteten Ballons. Zusätzlich werden an sechs Punkten riesige Leinwände aufgestellt, auf denen man Videocollagen aus Bildern von damals und heute angucken kann. Das wird bestimmt alles richtig eindrucksvoll, besonders nachts! Alle Infos zum Projekt findet ihr auf der Facebook-Seite. https://www.facebook.com/lichtgrenze/timeline --------- Nachts um 4 mit dem Bike von der Bornholmer Straße bis zur Oberbaumbrücke.

Der Berliner Mauerfall - jeder erzählt seine eigene Geschichte, wenn man ihn zu diesem geschichtsträchtigen Ereignis vor genau 25 Jahren befragt. Die Kulturprojekte Berlin organisierten am Wochenende vom 7. bis zum 9. November 2014 ein umfangreiches Programm zur Erinnerung an diesen bedeutenden Tag. Der Höhepunkt dieses Events war die Ballonaktion mit ihrer Darstellung der Lichtgrenze. Zur Erinnerung an den Verlauf der Berliner Mauer wurden auf 15 Kilometern im innerstädtischen Berlin 8.000 weiße, leuchtende Ballons aufgestellt. ALEX TV war an vielen ehemaligen Mauerstandorten dabei und hat ein Feature produziert – vom Erleuchten der Ballons bis zur Auflösung der Lichtgrenze. ALEX TV hat Interviews mit einigen der Ballonpaten sowie mit den Künstlern Marc und Christopher Bauder geführt, die...
