Abstract

Biographical / Historical
Franz Kafka was born on 3 July 1883 into a German-speaking, Jewish family in Prague in the then Austro-Hungarian Empire. He studied at the Charles University in Prague, graduating in 1906 with a doctorate in law. He spent most of his legal career in the Workers' Accident Insurance Institute from which he retired early on health grounds. He died of tuberculosis on 3 July 1924 at the age of 41.
Factum Arte is an interdisciplinary studio currently based in Madrid comprising artists, technicians and conservators dedicated to digital mediation.
