In the context of an exhibition in ESC Gallery I realized a very simple, despite very effective, mixed media installation. I arranged 23 white gas ballons with 23 white laces and 23 empty white cards attached in the gallery space. The visitors, curators and other participating artists were encouraged to write small messages on the cards and to relieve the message in the night sky. Intentional side effect of the whole thing were the converstaions of the particpants – everyone mixed and the crowd occupied the space in front of the gallery.

black bars is a special light setting I created for a party at my architectural drafting studio AZ4 instead of the ususal visuals. The motif is an array of nine black bars. Each with a DMX controlled power LED facing the white wall behind the array. The LEDs were connected with the music through a PD patch. Since black bars was nearly the only illuminant in the room – pulsating with the vibes of the music – it generated a kind of “spacy feeling”.

“Once” is a song by the austrian band Mindcave. The song tells about the band and their members – in the video this was projected on two persons and their relations to each other. The project was reealized with a combination of filmed material and still photographs.

This tree belongs to students …
and to you tutors, staff and all the other people. After beeing concerned about the poor unification of our university it seems to be important to allow more space for diversity. That’s why we made a present: these two trees. They follow two old trees, taken by a storm. May they bring joy to all the passersby.

Dieser Baum ist unser …
wir Studierenden, aber auch Euer – Ihr Lehrenden und Angestellten. Nach fortschreitender Vereinheitlichung unserer Universität scheint es an der Natur der Zeit auch der Vielfältigkeit wieder Raum zu geben. Deshalb haben wir unserer Universität diese beiden Bäume zum Geschenk gemacht. Sie stehen an der alten Stelle zweier ehemaliger Bäume, die ihren Lebenszyklus vollendet haben. Mögen sie viele Generationen Früchte tragen und Freude bereiten.

verstrickungen/prepletanje follows an artistic approach towards an examiation of the “double city” Gornja Radgona/Bad Radkersburg concomitant with the complete dissolving of the borders in 2007. To speak plainly, it is all about crossing boundaries. De it physical ones, as for example the Mur river, or physic, which through conjuncted efforts can be overcome entirely.
Our primary aim was to mobilize/motivate as many inhabitants of both sides of the border to join a collective needlework in order to produce out of many, squared, single blotches of wool one huge pice that represents the single efforts of the people living in that region.
Not only the outcome of this project, but especially the one-week workshop conducted together with most different kinds of people at Bad Radkersburgs’s main square as well as rather spare but also very interesting in most different areas of the region were an unique attempt to represent both regions’s connectivity and literally interweave two cultures …

irrlichter/ghostlights refers to the ghostly lights sometimes seen at night or twilight over bogs, swamps, or marshes. It looks like a flickering lamp, and is sometimes said to recede if approached. Much folklore surrounds the phenomenon. The project is a contemporary realization of this topic. A series of specially gutted flourescent lamps, connected through a self developed software and a stereo equipment are used to create a spooky environment. The setting was on one hand used as an mixed media installation on the other hand as a tool for an audiovisual performance.
