From 1992 to 1996 he attended the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften), where he studied drawing, sound installation, video and animation film.
In 1995, he received a DAAD grant and spent a year at the Media Art Department of the ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Enschede, Netherlands.
In 2013 and 2015 he was commissioned the two compositions "Chromdioxidgedächtnis" and "Takt der Arbeit" by "NDR das neue werk", a renowned radio series of contemporary music.
A significant connection to Neue Deutsche Welle (in which he couldn't actively participate as he was too young)[2] can also be noticed in his surrealist German lyrics, which are wild, poetic and open to interpretation.
[3] From 2010 to 2011, commissioned by Radio Web MACBA, he produced two podcast series: Parasol Elektroniczny – Rumours from the Eastern Underground, and Deutsche Kassettentäter – the rise of the German home-recording tape scene.
Between 2015 and 2017, Kubin has been host and co-creator of the NDR radio show Toxic Tunes, a live recorded programme of experimental music and artist talks presented at Resonanzraum Hamburg.
In 20 episodes, the show featured artists such as Sven-Åke Johansson, Andrea Neumann and Alessandro Bosetti who presented their self-built instruments live on air.
Kubin worked for theatre in collaboration with other artists such as Christoph Schlingensief („Atta Atta", Volksbühne Berlin, 2003), Mariola Brillowska („House of National Dog“, Kampnagel Hamburg, 2007), Schorsch Kamerun („Hollywood Elegien“, Ruhrtriennale Essen, 2002, „Des Kaisers Neue Kleider“, Schauspiel Köln, 2010) and Robert Florczak („Macbeth“, Shakespeare Festival, Danzig 2010).
