MIMESIS (with Xenoram) animated | arty | digital | physical September 2021 Projection Mapping on “Post-Naturalia” Together with Marcel Bückner, Moritz Richartz, Richard Oeckel, Tim Heinze at Xenoram… The work MIMESIS for Lichtstrom Festival Ingolstadt was inspired by its motto Post-Naturalia. We developed an artistic projection mapping onto a part of the Reduit Tilly building in Klenzepark. The mirror-symmetrical façade of the army museum formed the connection of the festival area to the banks of the Danube and the city centre. The term post-naturalia refers to the artificial imitation, for example of natural reality, which in our case is superimposed

BE\\LONGING animated | arty | digital | physical March 2020 Projection Mapping on digital romanticism Together with Marcel Bückner, Moritz Richartz, Richard Oeckel, Tim Heinze at Xenorama… Digitization has created an abstract world of data, media and algorithms. Social media, artificial intelligence, machine-learning and blockchain technology are shaking up firmly established social structures. Already at the end of the 18th century there were similar developments, as the Enlightenment was introduced into society as the rationalization of nature from which Romanticism developed as a juxtaposition. BE\\LONGING aims to artistically

LUX EXCELSIS (With Xenorama) animated | arty | graphical | physical January 2018 Ceiling projection in church vault… In religious and spiritual contexts, the terms light and height are often associated with a universal and ordering power — similar to mathematics and geometry in the field of natural science. The nave of the St. Andreas church in Hildesheim is characterized by a stellar vault at 90ft height, which connects and subdivides the individual sections of the church ceiling. In an audiovisual architectural projection, the geometric structure and the resulting conception of space are explored, as well as the meaning of the firmament — which is implicit in the
RESONANCE (with Xenorama) animated | arty | digital | physical January 2018 Interactive Tap Dance performance… In Tap Dance, the performers act as dancers and musicians at the same time. In cooperation with an advanced Tap Dance ensemble lead by Daniel Luka we extend this symbiosis on the visual and sonic level to create a unique fusion of sound, body and light. In the course of several phases, the performance follows the dancers on a travel from the origin of Tap Dance through scenes of challenging choreography and spontaneous improvisation towards a multi-sensory climax.
Transkutan (with Xenorama) animated | arty | physical August 2016 Analogously produced Projection Mapping Together with Marcel Bückner, Moritz Richartz, Richard Oeckel, Tim Heinze at Xenorama… “Transkutan” is a medical term that describes the transition of a substance through the skin. In our projection show we explore the omniscalar coherence between architecture and body, between facade and skin. The animation follows a fictitious travel through different layers of the human skin. It starts with microscopic cellular processes, investigates the facade as membrane and finally lets parts of the human body interact with the architectural shapes.
RADIX (with Xenorama) animated | arty | digital | physical July 2016 Wooden sculpture augmented by projections and sound Together with Marcel Bückner, Moritz Richartz, Richard Oeckel, Tim Heinze at Xenorama… Radix is a wooden root sculpture augmented by projection and sound. The sculpture is brought to life as a fictive entity: part organism, part apparatus. In an ongoing play of light and sound the object undergoes a transformation from it’s initial natural shape towards a technical formation while the two aspects strive for dominance. Organic veins are taken over by digital structures and finally replaced by geometric patterns until the cycle begins

dream bubble machine animated | arty | digital | physical July 2012 Room installation with projections on soap bubbles Together with Fabricius Seifert Supervised by Prof. Roland Lambrette… A dark room with a raw, restless machine. It produces soap bubbles filled with smoke and projected images. The contents are hard to recognize, they are moving, flickering and finaly inevitably dying. Shown are images of a fortune-uniformed media landscape, that build dreams as fast as it destroys them. The installation makes light not only visible at the emitter and where it hits an object, but also in the space between. The emerging flying, bodiless images appear as if

3d effect video animated | digital July 2009 3D animation with different techniques and aproaches Thanks to Soulcage Department… So far this clip is my most advanced 3D project. It combines real movie footage with a digital created and animated character. Moreover there are used techniques to simulate cloth, water and a dynamic particle fire simulation. The movie was produced for preparation and during my internship at the Soulcage Department. It is more a technical experiment than a narrative story. First I analized the camera movements of the real movie footage in Boujou. Afterwards I modelled the body of the character in ZBrush and
