Ursula Endlicher turns code into material form. She builds frameworks for Internet Art works and performances, but lets real-time data be the lead for their choreographies. She extracts rule sets from the Web and repurposes them for installations. She has exhibited and performed her work internationally in venues such as transmediale Berlin; SIGGRAPH Asia; ZERO1 Biennial; at the Center for Performance Research, NY and on Turbulence.org. She recently finished her project residency at Eyebeam, NY. Her work is part of the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art.

His main interests are empathy, identity, performance art, synthesizers, machine learning and using computers for feelings and inner world real time expression.
