nomad is a kind of autonomous, image collecting system, that combines its own rules and mechanisms with the ones of an internet search engine and therefor creates nearly unpredictable results and images with an uncountable amount of authorships.

nomad composes moving images out of basic graphical website elements and inverts the search engine’s view.

nomad was my diploma project at the university for applied arts vienna.

this project deals with public space and underlying movements, politics and structures.

i took a vast amount of photos of passersbys in crowded places in vienna and paris.
these photos have been used as footage for a series of c-prints and an experimental software to reveal new structures and insights.

this is a photographic tribute to the prater, vienna's traditional and controversial fun fair.

actually it's the attempt to save a personal image of the place as it looked like in late summer 2004, just before a major redesign and modernization project was launched.
the photos are cross-linked and together they form a personal representation of the real prater topography. take a ride.

this sketch evolved out of the footage originally shot for the box(ed project.

video footage of pb has been arranged into a sprite with behaviour, movement and actions. all parameters can be controlled in real time or control can be given to a pseudo-chaotic fuzzy-mode.
in fuzzy-mode the figure comes to its very own and disturbing life.

in this project - together with korinna lindinger - we sketched an interactive projection for the media facade of the ars electronica center in linz.

an actor would walk along the surface of the three sided facade and react to people passing by. the work deals with borders of realities and perception and renders the real life motion footage into digitally sequenced sprites.

an interactive net project that generates text streams with pseudo meaning out of google queries.

this project was my second work on the topic of search engines, their role as content gates and filters and the general economics of attention.
words as pixels, fetched and shifted into [index tales] context. listen to tales from the central index.

from september 2002 to january 2003 i shot a few photos somewhere in the woods in the outskirts of vienna.

when shooting, i always used the same angle and motive for my camera. afterwards the images were arranged in a timelapse animation.
the very basic idea behind the project was to capture time and to try a different type of perception of time for myself.
