David Jablonowski (*1982 in Bochum) studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam and the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In his artistic work he deals with communication, its codes and formats and examines how media transport and change content. As a sculptor, he translates the diverse interconnections into mostly multimedia sculptures. Having grown up in the Ruhr area and being influenced by industrial change, he is particularly interested in industrial materials, their creation and infrastructures. Thus the formal language in his work has developed in recent years along the lines of the latest technological achievements, including those in the materials industry. »Public Hybrid« at Emscher-Weg is his first permanent work in public space.
