Hrvoje Hiršl is an artist, researcher and designer. His art projects exist at the crossing of contemporary art and media art discourse. His main themes range from the materiality of the art object, deconstruction of its aura and the limitations of the medium to complex systems and cybernetics and their influence on the art movements emerging from the period of the 50/60s - minimalist/conceptual art. In the last two years his interests gradually shifted from the medium, materiality and the “aura” of the art object to structures, automation and cybernetics, which in a sense is again a search for the supporting structure (medium).
In 2012 he was nominated for the Radoslav Putar Award for the best Croatian artist under 35. He is the recipient of the DordtYart Artists-in-Residence 2015 (Dordrecht); TRIBE Residency 2013 (Istanbul, Prague and Ljubljana) and Kulturkontakt Artists in Residence 2012 (Vienna). In 2012 he participated in Documenta (13), Kassel as part of the AND AND AND program. He was nominated for the T-HT award 2012 and the T-HT award 2013 as one of five artists personally invited by the jury.
