Renata Stih and Frieder Schnock live and work as artists in Berlin. Prof. Renata Stih teaches at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin (art & technology, film & media), Frieder Schnock, a trained art historian (PhD) works also as curator and art consultant. Their art is principally devoted to the ways in which the introduction of new media have brought about new modes of seeing and experiencing one's surroundings and to the possibilities of exerting psychological influence through the intrusion of art into the sphere of everyday life. The work has been shaped by studies about how memory functions in the social sphere and how it is reflected symbolically in the space of the city. Lectures and public discussions are an integral part of their activity as artists.
