Friedrich Weber Goizel was born in Berlin in 1994, where he still lives and works today. He first studied sculpture at the HbK Braunschweig before transferring to the Space, Concept, and New Media class at the UdK Berlin. He completed his master's degree there in 2019.
Even during his studies, his work focused on the situational moment of viewing. His works arise from an equal interaction between the subjective viewer and the objective viewed.
The objective viewed
encounters the viewer as an active participant or counterpart on equal footing. While still
studying art, Friedrich Weber Goizel began to study humanoid robotics. The artistic exploration of an active world of objects seemed to inevitably lead to an engagement with technical systems and the associated social issues.These are robotic systems that give the algorithms surrounding us a “body” and thus bring them back into our analog world. From 2022 to 2025, he studied in the interdisciplinary master's program Design & Computation. As a cooperative program between the TU Berlin and the UdK Berlin, there is a focus on combining artistic and design practice with technical.
skills and methods from the natural sciences and humanities.
At the center of Friedrich Weber Goizel's artistic work and explorations
is the challenge of outlining a position in an environment increasingly shaped by technology
that does justice to the human aspect of the situation. In his often kinetic installations,
things encounter us, often humorously, as direct, active counterparts.
Based on this approach, his works can be understood as perceptual prostheses that, instead of
following narratives, aim to raise awareness of the moment. By
removing the dichotomy between actor and acted upon, subject and object, viewers are taken into account as elements responsible for continually retelling the story of the works themselves.
Friedrich Weber Goizel also works in the field of digital education and
media didactics as a mentor and workshop leader for adults and children, and heads the
“Studio 124” makerspace at a Berlin high school.
