Tim Pritlove (born 25 November 1967 in Gehrden, Germany) is a British/German podcaster, media artist and Discordian. He lives and works in Berlin.

Pritlove studied computer science but never graduated. From 1998 to 2005, he was the main organizer of the Chaos Communication Congress and the Chaos Communication Camps. Also, until 2006, he was in charge as managing director of the "Chaos Computer Club Veranstaltungs GmbH." He also played a central role in the Chaos Computer Club, where he is a member.

As a Discordian, Pritlove appeared under the pseudonym Theodor Prinz. With this name, he blogged until March 2008 on the MobileMacs blog. Since the beginning of April 2008, he has been blogging at MobileMacs by his civic name.

Media-art

At the beginning of the 1990s Pritlove belonged to the developers of the first interactive, telephone based communication platform Die Villa. He is coordinator and co-developer of the Project Blinkenlights. In the last years he was a scientific assistant in the Institut für zeitbasierte Medien at the Berlin University of the Arts. In 1996 he founded the first T-shirt label of the hacker culture named interhemd modebewusstseinserweiterung.

Podcasting

Pritlove was involved with Chaosradio, a radio show the CCC runs with Radio Fritz. He later spun off Chaosradio Express (which was renamed into CRE: Technik, Kultur, Gesellschaft in December 2011), Chaosradio Express International and Chaos TV, as podcasts. Additionally he writes his own weblog called The Lunatic Fringe.

He is involved in the production of several, predominantly German podcasts, as well as the English podcast "Newz of the World". His podcasts are often focused on technology, such as Raumzeit he produced for the ESA.

In 2014 Pritlove was one of the most popular German bloggers.

Personal life

Born British citizen, motivated by Brexit, Pritlove applied for German citizenship, which was granted on 17 October 2018.
