Jürg Lehni works collaboratively across disciplines, dealing with the nuances of technology, tools and the human condition. His works often take the form of platforms and scenarios for production, such as the drawing machines Hektor, Rita and Viktor, as well as software-based structures and frameworks, including Paper.js, Scriptographer and the now defunct Vectorama.org.

Lehni has shown work internationally in group and solo shows at the MoMA New York, Walker Art Center, Centre Pompidou, Institute of Contemporary Arts London, Victoria and Albert Museum, Design Museum London, Kunsthalle St. Gallen, etc. His work has been acquired by collections of institutions such as the SFMOMA (Viktor), as well as the HeK in Basel (Four Transitions & Flood Fill) and the Kunsthaus Zürich (Four Transitions).

After years of working and teaching abroad, Lehni now runs his own studio practice in Zürich. He previously was an Associate Professor of Interaction Design at the Parsons School of Art, Media, & Technology in New York in 2016-2017, the Arts Council Visiting Professor at the UCLA Department of Design Media Arts in 2012-2013, running his own studio in London in 2008-2011, and on a research residency at Sony SET Studio in Tokyo in 2006.
