Christian Moeller (born Frankfurt am Main, in 1959) is a German architect and artist. He studied architecture at the College of Applied Sciences in Frankfurt and as a scholarship holder under Gustav Peichel at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. After working in the Stuttgart architect's office of Behnisch and Partner he commenced as guest artist in Peter Weibel's Institute for New Media in the Städel School in Frankfurt.
In 1990 he founded his own architect's office and media laboratory in Frankfurt. From 1995 to 1997 headed the ARCHEMEDIA research institute at the College of Design in Linz, Austria.
He was a professor at the State College of Design in Karlsruhe, Germany, until he moved to the United States in 2001.
His large scale site specific works interrogate and explore the synergies between architecture and sound, technology and moving image. He works with contemporary media technologies to produce innovative and intense physical events, realized from hand held objects to architectural scale installations.
Over the past two decades, his body of work represents one of the original and most complex investigations of what is possible to be revealed by the intersections of cinema, computation, music and physical space.
Moeller currently is a professor of Media | Arts at UCLA
