Michael Schwab (b. 1966) is a London-based German artist and researcher, who has had exhibitions both in the UK and abroad. Originally a photographer, his work breaches narrow definitions of media as he focuses on post-conceptual uses of technology. Apart from photography, he employs drawing, installation art, painting and printmaking to produce his work that is often conceptually developed on the computer.
