Hito Steyerl (born 1 January 1966) is a German filmmaker, visual artist, writer, and innovator of the essay documentary.[1] Her principal topics of interest are media, technology, and the global circulation of images. Steyerl holds a PhD in Philosophy from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.[1] She is currently a professor of New Media Art at the Berlin University of the Arts, where she co-founded the Research Center for Proxy Politics, together with Vera Tollmann and Boaz Levin .[1][2]
Life and career
Steyerl was born on 1 January 1966 in Munich.[3] Steyerl attended the Japan Institute of the Moving Image.[4] She later studied at the University of Television and Film Munich.[5] Steyerl was deeply influenced by Harun Farocki,[6] though she has cited her former professor, the noted film historian Helmut Färber, as having a more direct influence on her work.[4]
In 2004 she participated in Manifesta 5, The European Biennial of Contemporary Art.[7] She has also participated in the 2008 Shanghai Biennale[8] and the 2010 Gwangju and Taipei biennials. In 2007, her film Lovely Andrea[9] was exhibited as a part of documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany.[10] In 2013 her work was included in the Venice Biennale[11] and the Istanbul Biennial.[12] In 2015, her work was included in the German pavilion at the Venice Biennale.[13]
Hito Steyerl’s work pushes the boundary of traditional video, often obscuring what is real beneath many layers of metaphors and satirical humor. Steyerl even went so far as to refer to her piece, Red Alert, as "the outer limit of video"[14] which consisted of three monitors playing a video of pure red, representing Lovely Andrea, as well as symbolizing the extreme danger and lust that had become a normality.
Her work concerns topics of militarization, surveillance migration, the role of media in globalization, and the dissemination of images and the culture surrounding. Steyerl has pushed both the role and the label of fine artist, demonstrated through her tendencies and interests in engaging the presentational context of art. Her work is developed from research, interviews, and the collection of found images, culminating in pedagogically oriented work in the realm of forensic documentaries and dream-like montages.
In recent years, Steyerl's work has expanded to confront the status of images in an increasingly digital world, institutions (including museums), networks, and labor. Steyerl employs increasingly sophisticated approaches to editing, digital graphics, and video installation architecture.[15]

Videos
How Not To Be Seen: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File
15:52 minutes
In 2013 Steyerl released her video How Not to Be Seen, presenting five lessons in invisibility. These lessons include how to 1. Make something invisible for a camera, 2. Be invisible in plain sight, 3. Become invisible by becoming a picture, 4. Be invisible by disappearing, and 5. Become invisible by merging into a world made of pictures. Many of these methods may seem impossible. How Not to Be Seen is a satirical take on instructional films.[38] Much of the video also deals with surveillance and digital imagery: for example, figures in all black dance around as "pixels," and aerial photography features frequently. Thus, How Not to be Seen becomes a tutorial for invisibility in an age of intense hypersurveillance.
Liquidity, Inc.
30:00 minutes
Liquidity, Inc., (from 2014) consists of a video and a seating/backdrop installation. The video includes interviews with Jason Wood, a financial-advisor-turned-MMA-fighter, mesmerizing clips of ocean waves, and mock-weather reports from characters in balaclavas. As these visuals swirl around, a metaphor forms between water and images/money/trend in the digital age.[39]
Factory of the Sun
Factory of the Sun, like Liquidity, Inc. deals with finance. In this video, which debuted at the 2015 Venice Biennial, clip art people swarm and create "artificial sunshine" for a bank. The video utilizes light, sunshine, and warmth as motifs as it explores surveillance and mega-finance.
Awards
In 2010 Steyerl was awarded with the NEW:VISION Award at the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival for her film In Free Fall.[40] In 2015 Steyerl won the inaugural EYE Prize, a collaboration between EYE Film Institute Netherlands and the Paddy & Joan Leigh Fermor Arts Fund. The aim of the award is to support and promote an artist or filmmaker who have made outstanding contributions to their field.[41]
