TheHamsterProject is a performance using a series of hacked gadgets and devices to adapt human behaviour to a specific pet, enforcing its circadian cycle onto its owner. This can be used to increase your own daily efficiency, using the advantage lifestyles of specific animals. At the same time a space is created, which inherits a shift of power, pushing the human in a position of obedience.

Modern city life is only marginally related to the actual daily routine our bodies evolved for. Hunting and gathering are no longer primary professions, but the allocation of our days only changed marginally. Specific jobs need only short times of full concentration, allowing long times of regeneration, while others only offer small regular times to relax instead of a single long term. Different animals are adapted to specific routine ,that might suit specific professions a lot better than the human one does.

Electronic gadgets and machines became the major species on our planet. They work without sleep, never complain and don't get sick. They seem dominant to biological life in almost every aspect.

Small biological lifeforms, usually living in oceanic volcanoes are able to split large sulfur compounds into reactive elemental sulfur. In contact with former invincible guts of our electronic companions they form new corroding structures that are able to spread through out whole machines by being carried by wind and insects.

A visual research of a new form of epidemic.

A critical datavisualisation based on the world survey's questions "Would xou pay higher taxes, if it would improve the environment directly" and "Do you want your government to invest in environmental protection". Developed in a one week workshop guided by Karin von Ompteda.

Balance deals with the contradiction of demand and the willingness to invest some of your own potential effort. As long as both factors stay in an equal state the balance is given, in case of domination of one it tilts toward one side. Both groups are represented by a quarter, their specific radius reflects the specific percentage of people who are willing to invest and who demand improvement.

Ideally both quarters share the same size, balanced by itself. But more usually it tends to tilt either to the right or left, depending on the countries state of mind. Starting from the same line, the countries head either towards the edge or the safety of the wall.

Mapped by time is a proposition for a new cartographic image of Germany. A map showing a world, which is no more about the physical position of a place, but the time needed, to reach this point in space.

Time becomes the most valuable good of the traveller moving, point by point, towards his destination, without occupying the space he passes through. Just as the physical space of reality looses its meaning, this happens inside the media as well. It's not one image of the world but many. The distances to each other are the true position of each city. Only true during a small window of time, resembling the current state of travel possibilities.

Mapped by time is no final solution for a new kind of map. It's the description of a process, brought to several media. Expectations how it may be. A system of rules, to create your own map, of your own time and place, questioning the current system of mapping.

A monolithic object, creating a separate space. Every viewer or passerby is able to recreate the shape of this object, to turn the former massive structure into an accessible, see through or climbable one. Made from countless small structures, it's beginning to dissolve, initiated by the process of reshaping. Carried by a wind or the steps of the audience the small pieces spread out, reassemble in a quiet corner, or get lost in a ventilation grid. As soon as they leave the safe habitat of the gallery they're doomed to die, dissolving in a short amount of time. While their origin is gaining new shape by destructing its physical mass.

This educational device is meant to teach the basic structures of the RGB color system and the correlation of mixed colors to each other in an experimental and playful way. Complementing regular artistic education based on the regular paint and the subtractive color system.

The interface is meant to be the device itself without the usage of buttons or displays, younger children can place the colored blocks on top of the object and observe the result. With autonomous play in mind, all the electronics and mechanisms are stored in a single block of natural finished wood, leaving no gaps or possible cracks.

In Between is an installation in a former industrial complex dealing with the topic of temporary structuring and shaping the actual physical space.

Seventeen white walls, parting the room leaving a dynamic field of visibility and disguise. Moving shadows of the inherited performance innervate the installation as the walls begin to turn and change their appearance constantly, shaping new geometrical forms, opening new paths and glades.

This enforces the audience not only to watch, but to move and discover the different perspectives and images produced by the play.

An imagined scenario where electric light is no more a symbol of safety and comfort but a potential danger to yourself and the community around you. A constant momentum of fear making a glimpse in the dark to an easy aim for the omnipresent enemy's attacks, leading to a society condemning artificial lights and those associated to it.

The few individuals clinging to it, search the outer city regions for scrap metal and trash, trying to recreate brighter times in their secret shelters.

the addiction of mankind to its technology and electric devices became part of common sense during last years in most people's mind.but do we notice this behavior on ourselves as well as on others or the society as an entity?

this philosophical device is meant not to stress the moments of addiction, but the rare occasions of deprivation by translating it into an actual, physical perception. a struggling grip around the wrist becomes an eternal shackle, tightening in moments of electronic isolation. Well knowing of being technology itself, the carrying specimen becomes bound to its electronic companions by this "homeopathic" device. this device recalls the personal behavior into the carriers mind, giving them the ability to reflect themselves and using the gadget's programming to withdraw from their former behavior in a more conscious way. aiming for a constant lowering of their regular "doses" of technological interaction.

In February 2011 the university of the arts Bremen opened its gates to the annual "Hochschultage". A weekend made to explore and experience the universities works and its folk for everyone who's interested in art, design and music. The group exhibition for the digital media course was used to represent the several courses but maintain the idea of collected idea which inherits the digital media courses. Technology and Design.

We used anamorphic frames of tape to define each course. A simple black and white color scheme supplemented by the characteristic wooden floor of the building and black picture frames as individual headlines.

A philosophical device storing the nature of a human touch. Connecting two caring people, which are separated by time and/or space, not able to share the intimate reception of the other one's contact.

Reactive to the human touch, the orb notices and stores the amount of time it's been hold in hands.By a gentle glow from within, it's indicating its loaded status. In the moment of reactivation a gentle warmth releases from within the orb, sharing the stored touch which has been left inside. Remaining for the equivalent time it's been loaded with. Not only the warmth itself, but the effort is used to connect the two individuals. The time you're willing to spend with this device in both hands and your beloved in mind, indicates the strength of the stored reception within the orb.

Technology is the shift between ourself and the environment collapsing on us. I try to explore this shift between reality and personal perception by creating artificial abnormalities and observe existent phenomena, visualizing and communicating them to the audience.
