David Goldberg
Artist / Researcher / Composer
David Goldberg, based between Berlin and Munich, is an interdisciplinary artist with over a decade of creative exploration. He earned his MA in Sound Studies from the Universität der Künste Berlin in 2022 and a Diploma in Fine Arts from the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich in 2024. Drawing inspiration from transhumanist ideology, he seamlessly weaves elements from video games and pop culture into his creations, resulting in a diverse and dynamic artistic portfolio. Engaging with themes such as ancestral memories, transhumanism, and strategies to confront accelerationist ideology, he investigates these ideas through time-based media like film, CGI, and AI. By merging these technologies, he seeks to open new channels of aesthetic communication that challenge established frameworks and enrich the contemporary art discourse. He applies his interest in these topics also as a director, facilitating interdisciplinary performances that combine dance, music, and visual arts to encourage collaboration and reflection. Beyond this realm, Goldberg's interests extend to music and composition, with notable performances at renowned institutions such as Berghain Berlin and Blitz Music Club Munich. His multifaceted body of work—spanning music, stage design, sculptures, film, and digital art—reflects a steadfast commitment to pushing his own artistic boundaries and navigating the ever-evolving landscape of new digital and physical production methods.
