Fehler [f. German Fehler m. (a) (Irrtum) mistake, error; (b) (Mangel) fault, defect.]

Internationally respected digital artists Fehler have been described as "a William Morris for the digital age".

Established in 1994 by Fällt co-founder Christopher Murphy, Christophe Behrens [1,024, Fällt] and Otaku Yakuza [Aubergine, Fällt] Fehler currently exists as a platform for a number of aligned designers and artists to work in a variety of combinations, whilst remaining otherwise anonymous.

Fehler works are characterised by a collective approach and are often collaborative in nature. Past collaborators have included: Alorenz (Kitty Yo, Mille Plateaux); Taylor Deupree (12k, LINE); Richard Chartier (LINE, Raster-Noton); and Tina Frank (Mego, Skot).

In addition to creating works for Absolut Vodka and numerous high profile clients worldwide Fehler have worked within the field of audio-related design for the last decade producing work for a variety of independent labels worldwide including Fällt, 1,024, and Bremsstrahlung Recordings.

Their work has featured alongside internationally respected designers including Alorenz, The Designers Republic, Tomato and Peter Saville in 'Sampler 3' and 'CD Art - Innovation in CD Packaging Design'. They have also featured in Creative Review and were highlighted in an article on 'Laptop Aesthetics' in Eye Magazine.

"[Their] compelling mixture of industry and vision... reliance on naked invention and pure graphic craft, means that [they] could be considered a William Morris for the digital age." (Creative Review)
