CV

*1986, in Austria, oscillating between Linz / Austria and Cologne / Germany.
In 2018 I was cooperating as a light and sound artist with the Neue Musik Ensemble ElectronicID. I am a co-founder with Stefan Tiefengraber of the curatorial soundart project radio433. I was also part of the Off-Space Gemeinde Köln at Ebertplatz in 2019-21. My work has been presented at the Austrian Cultural Forum (London / UK), Ars Electronica Festival (Linz / Austria), House of Electronic Arts (HeK) (Basel / Switzerland), ZKM (Karlsruhe / Germany), 噪咖藝術有限公司 noiseKitchen (Taipei / Taiwan), 스페이스 오뉴월 Galerie O'NewWall (Seoul / Korea), RESPONSIVE (Halifax / Canada) and TADAEX م حسن گا لری (Tehran / Iran).

Artist Statement

In my work I explore sensory and synaesthetic states with the help of (self-made) electronics. I use the essential properties of light and sound across installations and performances. I take the two-dimensional image and bring it into the three-dimensional space. I see my artistic practice in the tradition of Expanded Cinema. Tony Conrad's 'The Flicker', Paul Sharit's 'Shutter Interface' or Brion Gyson's 'Dreamachine' are works that have shaped me. On a visual level, I experiment with flicker or with full colors, with simple shapes and clear movements. The sound in my work is often characterized by noise, deep bass and drastic highs. I combine these elements and play with subjective and cognitive perception.
