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”.

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.
