Ulf Langheinrich was born in Wolfen, Sachsen Anhalt, Germany in 1960. Ulf’s projects utilise photography, sound and video, light, and technology, to create sensory environments that seek to question the conventions of multimedia. The career of Ulf Langheinrich is best known for his internationally acclaimed work in the two-man group, Granular Synthesis. The project, which began in 1991 with these two self-proclaimed “media terrorists”, does more in the way of a performance than it does to define the men involved.

A number of his recent solo installations and performances have been held in group exhibitions and international art fairs, and include Hemisphere, Sensi sotto sopra/Roma Europa, Roma, (2006); and Perm, Cinemas of Future/Lille 2004 Cultural Capital of Europe, Dutch Electronic Art Festival, Rotterdam, Body Media/Shanghai Culture Space (2003-07).
