Ingo Günther, born 1957 in Bad Eilsen, Germany, studied Ethnology, Cultural Anthropology and Art in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf. Since the 1970s, numerous travels took him to Northern Africa, North and Central America and Asia. In the mid 1980s he moved to New York and in 1984 together with Peter Fend founded the agency 'Ocean Earth' that acquired the rights for civil sattelite data, which they analyzed and then sold to TV stations and the press. Two years later, in 1986, he quit the project. In 1987 he worked as a correspondent for the UNO and founded the 'World Space Corporation!, and in 1989 together with Norbert Meisner established the independent TV channel 'Kanal X' in Leipzig.
