Aaron Kimmig (1989, DE/AT) is a digital artist and activist, working in a self-organized
webdesign/programming since 2016. Before starting his studies in Post-Conceptual Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna
(2017) he did his bachelor degree in International Development at the Main University of Vienna. He focused on postcolonial
studies, gender studies and critical whiteness. For his thesis he did research on how the refugee protest movement in Vienna
used Social Media for organizing itself.
In his artwork he mainly deals with questions concerning technology
as a (societal) tool for both: repression and liberation. He also explores the algorithms behind biological processes and
their digital implementations (swarm, artificial intelligence, human brain and creativity). In 2021 he won the "Different
Worlds" prize for young contemporary art photography for his research project "Xinjiang - Sentinel2", on the oppression of
Uyghur minority in Xinjiang.
