description:
I was once again invited to take part in an exhibition called 'Signale' (German for 'signals'). It was about the complex and aesthetic representation of (digital) information.
I helped with this collaboration together with Matthias Jäger, Barbara Heier and Jakob Reichsöllner. The exhibit consisted of tiny plastic bags filled with a little letter - written by Jakob Reichsöllner - and an old key put up on the wall in three rows. Every contribution was tagged with a three-digit code representing a piece of art at the exhibition. The key itself was to remember the exhibition and to take it home with.
The bags were one after another taken away, the exhibit changed throughout the exhibition caused by the visitors.

Matthias Jäger invited me to take part in an exhibition in Graz in August 2007. This exhibition named 'Weil das Schwarze immer gegen das Gelbe kämpft' (German for 'Because the Black is always fighting against the Yellow') was about artistically dealing with the aesthetics and philosophy of violent computer games.
My contribution consisted of a custom made 3d-world for the well known action computer game Half-Life. At the exhibition you were able to play this mini-game by yourself. The idea was to create something non-violent for a usually violent computer game.

'You can call it macabre! Is it the imagination of everyone you know dropping dead on the floor? Or a few pictures of people's feet? Or is it just 'bare foot' fetish?'
'Verstorben' (German for 'deceased') was a slightly macabre photo series done in late summer 2007, showing some people's naked feet provided with a little sign saying 'Verstorben'.
There is a movie presentation which was shown at an art exhibition in Gmunden / Austria in late 2007. It supposed to decelerate, to unsettle and also tell something about people's blunted view on death.

In fall 2006 my former band colleagues asked me to create their graduation magazine for their 'prom'. Since I did the magazine for my own class in fall 2004 and knew everything about the whole process of organizing and realizing such a thing, I was happy to do so. This was a chance to improve my ideas and visions of a magazine for this purpose.
