LA-Wien

01/09 08/2023

'LA-Wien' reframes an object of authority into a game in public space.

'Scherenabsperrgitter' can be found at many seemingly arbitrary places in Vienna.

This kind of barrier is usually used to create a temporary border. It should stop people from entering or leaving a defined space.

The barriers were one of the first things i noticed in vienna. I was captured by the interactive shape, caterpillar-like movement and the fact, that they just appear randomly in public space.

Two things remain unclear:
Who is allowed to move them?
What does 'LA-Wien' mean?

Digital exhibition for the second semester

01/09 08/2021

A digital exhibition showcasing the works of my fellow students in the second semester in summer 2020. The coldness and brutality of the space (modified Galerie König) symbolizes the feelings concerning the first covid19 online-semester. The perception of the artworks is linearized and everything else transforms into noise.

The project UV is a collection. Thoughts and ideas are written down, analogies between digital and analog are identified, and exemplary investigations are presented.
What is the relationship between matter, form and light?
Which methods can be used to capture a light situation in the surface of an object?
In this context, which possibilities do the physical reality and a reality generated by a computer offer?

2CF8

01/09 02/2022

2CF8 developed an implant free for everyone to use. It accesses your brain and is capable of sending neural impulses, that can make you see, hear, taste, smell and feel things. But what would a world look like, in which reality and virtuality were inextricably interwoven? What potential do such technologies have for individuals, societies and companies? What harm might they do? This speculative project does not try to give answers – it tries to raise the right questions.
