Ingo Günther (*1957 in Bad Eilsen / Germany, lives in New York) studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Fritz Schwegler, Günther Uecker, and Nam June Paik. In his early videos, video sculptures, and installations, Günther focuses primarily on the visual space and image axes of video, thematizing spatial movement as well as immaterial flows of information. In later works, Günther focuses on examining global processes, making reference to current political events.

In his videos from the 1980s, Günther works on visual space: in Rotorama, television images are set in motion by digital editing in such a way that there is no longer a coherent panorama, but an intense effect of rotation. Similarly, in HI TAO Günther works on the generation of space in road movies, digitally defying the effect, while in Eleven Waiters Vertical he was inspired by elevator doors to create eccentric visual axes.
