Ole Fach (b. 1980) is an architect and conceptual artist investigating the networking of the internet, architecture, society and new media. Almost all of his art practice — websites, performances, installations, screenings and GIFs — has been made in collaboration with the artist Kim Asendorf, exploring how digital and networked systems reflect cultural change.
Fach and Asendorf founded the Fach & Asendorf Gallery in 2010, an online exhibition space built as a custom website rather than a traditional white cube, hosting monthly solo and group shows by artists such as Nicolas Sassoon, Sara Ludy and Jan Robert Leegte. The pair's collaborative Tumblr project Gezi gelen Limon, 2013, used Photoshop's tools to digitally erase violence — police, weapons — from images of the Taksim Gezi Park protests in Istanbul, then reposted the altered pictures alongside the real-time stream of the unfolding events. The project was later shown in the exhibition “global aCtIVISm” at ZKM Center for Art and Media.
