Lilian Beidler was born on 1 March 1982 in Bern, Switzerland. She completed her 
Master of Arts in Contemporary Arts Practice (CAP) at Bern University of the 
Arts in 2010. She was invited as an artist in residence to the USA, Finland and 
China. She regularly shows her work and performs at different venues and 
festivals in the USA, Asia and Europe. She is currently studying at Goldsmiths 
University of London. She speaks seven languages and is eager to learn more.

Sound being a fundamental component of her work, she ranges from performance, 
installation, conceptual work and musical composition.
In her work, she addresses questions like: What is the significance of gestures 
in the performance of electronic music? How do new media change the perception 
and appearance of the human body? How do humans interact with machines? How do 
new forms of communication influence the way people look at themselves and at 
others? What stories will we tell our grandchildren - and how?
