Malte Kebbel

Malte Kebbel, as the founder and visionary artist behind Studio Kebbel, continues to push the boundaries of public art through innovative light and sculpture installations. His current role involves not only conceptualizing and executing large-scale public artworks but also exploring the dynamic intersection of urban space, light, nature, and energy. Kebbel’s expertise in integrating cutting-edge lighting technologies, synthetic materials, and parametric design allows him to craft monumental installations that transform public environments and provoke reflection on our evolving relationship with the cityscape.

A key focus of Kebbel’s recent projects is leveraging advancements in 3D technology, CNC manufacturing, and augmented reality (AR) to enhance viewer engagement and interactivity. His work often incorporates sustainable energy solutions, emphasizing the importance of renewable energy and energy efficiency in public art. Kebbel’s mastery in web development and web design complements his physical installations, enabling immersive digital experiences that extend the impact of his work beyond physical space.

Through collaborations with architects, urban planners, and technology developers, Kebbel explores innovative placemaking strategies that fuse art, AI, and energy to create meaningful, site-specific interventions. His role as a researcher in artificial intelligence (AI) further informs his approach, allowing him to experiment with generative design and responsive lighting systems that adapt to environmental conditions and human presence. Based in Berlin, Kebbel’s work exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to public art—one that harnesses the latest technological advancements to foster sustainable, engaging, and transformative urban environments.
