He studied art history and philosophy and received his doctorate in 1995 from the University of Innsbruck. From 1992 co-editor of Medien.Kunst.Passagen, working on research assignments on art and architecture and art in the electronic space. Since 1997 he has been teaching at universities and art schools in Germany and abroad. His artistic work can be found in numerous exhibitions and collections. In his works, Thomas Feuerstein interweaves art, literature and philosophy with economics, politics, digital media and biotechnology to create artistic narratives. His projects investigate the interplay between individuality and sociality, research "molecular sculptures", formulate an aesthetics of entropy and develop a cybernetic "daimonology" of cultural processes. His works include large-scale installations, procedural sculptures, drawings, radio plays, organic and net art. Central aspects are the connection of verbal, visual and material elements, the uncovering of latent overlays of fact and fiction and the connection between art and science. For this purpose, Feuerstein founded the artistic method of "conceptual narration".
