Tamara Knapp

Tamara Knapp is a visual artist and graphic designer combining tools, constructing graphic systems and experimental visual creations. She completed her bachelor's and master's degree in Visual Communications at Bauhaus-University Weimar after training as a photographer in Heidelberg. She has been teaching since 2021 under the "Space for Visual Research" in the graphic design department at Bauhaus-University Weimar. Since 2023 she is also working in the department of Digital Media and Experiment at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Bielefeld. Since 2024 she is having a representative position there in the fields of Creative Technologies.

In her work she places great value on interdisciplinarity, so that often related disciplines in art and design meet thematic blocks from natural, human and scientific fields and become realized in artistic concepts through the use of technological methods. She seeks her vocation in the creation and documentation of new aspects in the fields of her visual investigations on natural phenomenons combining her visual as well as graphical core. In general, she likes to be inspired by inconspicuous, everyday materials and her penchant for the intangible of the interaction of form and formlessness.



In her research, artistic practice and educational interest she combines the intersection of technological systems and natural aesthetics.
