Dietmar Lupfer conceives and curates art actions in public space, designs media art spaces and is interested in formats that have a performative and as well an installationbased context – what he calls “Moving Installations” as a kind of social sculpture. The visitor leaves his passive role and should be immersive as well as activist. The projects Crash Test Dummy and Urban Mutation are exemplary for this, among many other projects. The concept of the mobile studio cocobello, designed by architect Peter Haimerl and presented by Dietmar Lupfer as the client, was presented at the 9th Venice Architecture Biennale. Lupfer is co-founder and artistic director of the International Art and Culture Center Muffatwerk in Munich. He is responsible for an urban, future-oriented interdisciplinary program that brings together dance, performance, hybrid art and media art as well as work at the interface of art, technology and science. Together with Ulf Langheinrich, he designed a Hemisphere for the Sparks To Pixel Exhibition at Berlin’s Martin-Gropius-Bau. In the 2019/20 season, the immersive installation Sensefactory, conceived by him and Dietmar Lupfer, can be seen in Zeche Eins at Schauspielhaus Bochum.
