About
I studied history of art at LMU and wrote a thesis on “Conceptual Art in America and England between 1963 and 1976” (1988, published in German in 1992). “Performance Art after 1945. Action Theater and Intermedia Art” was sustained by DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and published in German in 2001.
My research on the history of art since 1945 is archived on the website “Intermedia Art” (URL:
http://dreher.netzliteratur.net/). “IASLonline Lessons in NetArt” presents my research on net art and net conditions (URL:
http://iasl.uni-muenchen.de/links/lektion0e.htm). I expanded the subject of this site to Mobile Telephony, Locative Media and Computer Art.
