Tobias Euler, born on 4 September 1977 in Halle/Saale, studied Fine Arts at the Bauhaus University Weimar. His work operates at the interface between sculpture, music and robotics. His work centres on digitally controlled, interacting sound objects, which he arranges in space to create walk-in installations. In addition to his individual works, he has developed interactive scenographic sound installations for the theatre maker Tom Wolter and for the theatre group ‘Showcase Beat Le Mot’, including at Theater Hebbel am Ufer Berlin, Schauspiel Frankfurt, Brut Wien and Residenztheater Munich.
Together with Veit Sprenger (performing arts) and Thies Mynther (musician, composer, producer), he created the interdisciplinary project ‘Moon Machine’, an installation with robotic orchestration based on the US composer ‘Moondog’, with an exhibition at Kunsthalle Münster, shows at Kampnagel Hamburg, at Ars Electronica Linz 2020 and at Mousonturm Frankfurt/Main 2021.
In 2022, Tobias Euler presented his sound installation ‘Sounds of Hyphae and Mycelia’ in a lavish solo exhibition at Berlin's Parochialkirche, sponsored by the BBK, Neustart Kultur programme. In 2023, his performance ‘Field Studies’ with spatial sound experiments took place in the Wasserspeicher Prenzlauer Berg Berlin. This year, together with raum-laborberlin, he built the installation Energie-Tankestelle in memory of Martin Kaltwasser for the exhibition ‘Radical Playgrounds’ at the Gropius Bau Berlin. He also created the ‘Fanal’ with the artist Fatou Kandé Senghor as part of the exhibition ‘Ré-imaginer le passé’ at KINDL Berlin.
