Darko Fritz was born in 1966, in Croatia. He is a media artist, curator and graphic designer.

He studied architecture at the University of Zagreb [1986 – 1989] and media
art at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam [1990 – 1992].

His work fills the gap between contemporary art practices and media art culture. He has worked with video since 1988 and created his first computer-generated
environment in 1988 [Cathedral]. He is using the Internet as artistic medium since 1994. He presents his works in different contexts and environments: galleries /
museums, Internet, broadcast media [TV, Radio] and architectural / public spaces. Recently he has been developing horticultural units [flower/organic installations] in
public spaces, transgressing the contents from the digital domain.

State of Balkania [1999]. He participate in the networks of new media culture [MI2 / Mama, Nettime, Syndicate, Spectre]. He is member of artists associations and
