Franco-German, Born in Saarbrücken in 1972, trained in film directing in Belgium, at home in Berlin since 1996. My practice spans digital art, video art, sound installation and electronic music, with collaborations in dance and theatre. In 2002 I co-founded the art company Einheit_7 e.V., where I have been teaching media art to underprivileged children and teenagers ever since.
My work circles around the friction between humans and their technologies: post-privacy, relational miscommunication, virtualisation and simulation — and the erosion of identity that follows. Alienation is the recurring keynote of my often stark, unsettling images.
Recent projects include my open-art complex „the code is cold“, the artists‘ book and radio play Background Radiation (together with Sulamith Sallmann), my sound project SONDAGE, and my ongoing electronic duo incarnation Ur.X. My filmography counts more than 50 films, videos and experiments — shown in projections, screenings and installations across Berlin, New York and Amsterdam. More info >>
