SUSA PANKRATH

is a New Media Artist and Multimedia Designer interested in interpersonal relations and the perception of surroundings. By playing with scale, context and expectation she draws attention to, and reflects upon human matters. By combining sound and image she transforms everyday occurrences into the world of our senses.

She studied at the Burg Giebichenstein University in Halle and successfully completed a BA in Multimedia|Virtual Reality-Design and a Diploma (German degree comparable to a Master) in Media Art.

Her interests have led to a variety of light and sound installations, shows and performances, working out of her studio in the capital of Germany and travelling around the world.
