Christina Köhler

Christina Koehler, mainly working as Tintin Patrone, is a German-Filipino Sound- and Performacne artist. Tintin Patrone is captivated by the exploration of interconnections among music, art, sound, and experimental forms of expression. Her creative works revolve around the visual aspects of music and the ways in which personal and societal connections are established with it.
By involving herself with robots and artificial intelligence in her artistic practice, Tintin Patrone challenges es- tablished notions of human subjectivity and physical presence. Through the integration of these technological elements, her objective is to go beyond outdated concepts of “human nature” and nurture fresh perspectives that continuously evolve alongside contemporary advancements in science and technology.
Incorporating non-human entities as participants becomes a purposeful endeavor for Tintin Patrone, aiming to disrupt conventional understandings of human subjectivity and embodiment.

Her performances, installations, and plays are inspired by genres such as musical Concept-Art, Fluxus, and experimental music. Another important part of her work is inspired by the culture of associations and club and based on the idea of creating temporary communities; in 2009 she founded the noise ensemble Krachkisten Orchestra, in 2012 a regular sound art and mobile sound system event called International MusicMotorcycleClub and in 2018 the performance collective The Ambassadors of Disappointment in collaboration with Goethe Centre in Guadalajara, Mexico. 2021 she was running a fake Asian food place called DEUTSCHES REIS, a place for experimental food, music and performance.
