Jürgen Trautwein is an interdisciplinary artist working in a variety of forms, including new media and hypertext works, temporary interferences, installations and classical forms such as painting, drawing and photography.

For the past ten years Jürgen Trautwein has been working on his Gesamtkunstwerk the evolving NIESATT drawing and multimedia hybridization project, which reflects on issues of ephemeralness, disposability, depersonalization, disinformation, reproducibility, prefabrication, repetition and the unpredictability of the next thought; a project where meaning and statement levels are overlying each other.

Trautwein's web works are an integral part of his NIESATT project; under the domain jtwine.com he has been creating web works since 1996 with a strong focus on repetitious sound-image-motion-interactions. Jtwine.com functions like an archive of fictional and real incidents where personal experience merges with visual research and documentary. Jtwine.com is combining high and low tech, reflecting on the heterogeneous
and pluralistic character of our visual culture and the web.

Jürgen Trautwein's work has been shown widely in museums, non profit art spaces, festivals and galleries around the world and is included inprivate, corporate and public collections. His work has been included in many books and publications such as File Festival Sao Paulo,European new media art Festival Osnabrueck, Plato Sanat Istanbul, Stuttgarter Filmwinter, Arte -TV, Rhizome Artbase, Net art.org,
Seattle Times, LA Times, Stuttgarter Zeitung, El Centro & Hoy Quito, Micromuseum Athens, Net art guide Frauenhofer institute, BadischeNeuste Nachrichten, Javamuseum and Furtherfield.org.

Trautwein holds a Meisterschueler Degree from the University of the Arts Berlin.

He lives and works in San Francisco and Germany
