Daniel Leiter is an interdisciplinary visual artist and contextual designer whose projects reflect socio-political, ecological and technological realities in the context of time-based media and responsible resource usage.
In his self-initiated process-oriented and experimental practice, underlying interconnections are carefully analysed and translated into meticulous media installations and sculptural works. Moreover, he conducts design research and develops commissioned design projects with the same rigorous attention to detail and context.
