As a programmer, Julian Rohrhuber has been involved in the development of computer languages, as an artist he has realised compositions and installation works. Publications are concerned with topics like the history of programming and mathematics, patents and algorithms, art theory, philosophy of science, live coding, sonification, and realism in documentary film. Recent texts address philosophy of time, algorithmic causality, and the citizenship of abstract entities.
