David Goldberg (Berlin/Munich) is a media artist, musician and filmmaker working at the intersection of moving image, spatial sound and the sociopolitical imaginaries of late capitalism. In each of his works, the position of the viewer is part of the material.
His work has been presented at the Spatial Sound Institute / 4DSOUND Budapest, Berghain Berlin, De School Amsterdam, Lothringer 13 Halle Munich and Nuit Blanche Paris, among others.
As an Art director, DP and motion designer, he has worked for clients including Telekom, Mercedes, Bayerische Staatsoper, Dekmantel Festival and isBurning.
He currently works as a producer on OUR BR00D at Haus der Kunst München and MUC.DAI, a project developed by OMSK Social Club that approaches AI training as a domestic and relational practice, and is developing OpSign, a transdisciplinary media studio and production platform.
