content production and 10 hours live VJ performance for the legendary Time Warp festival in Mannheim together with Jem the Misfit. On floor 3, with around four to five thousand people raving we provided visuals for no one less than Dixon, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Loco Dice, and Marco Carola. It was epic!

שכינה מתוך המכונה (Shechina Ex Machina)

admin — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 19:28:31 +0000

Shechina ex machina is an artistic installation about an exiled spirit manifesting herself in a piece of obsolete technology, desperately trying to reach man who stays preoccupied with postmodern capitalist shenanigans. (work in progress – v.0.1) According to jewish teachings, Shechina is the feminine majestic presence or manifestation of God which has descended to dwell among men. As the Israelites became exiled the Shechina came with them. Her manifestations remind men to constantly improve themselves and humankind and therefore seek reunification with God.

collaborative installation with Tim de Cort shown at FREEMOTE Festival. a random font consisting of broken down architectural elements is being composed into a pattern in chaotic order fed from the semantic input from a C64 computer keyboard. The pattern is sporadically printed onto endless paper.

the interface

the output

after the first day, the original 60′s television set was broken. first it started with magnetic glitches, then it died completely. so for day 2 we used a projector instead and constantly showed the SATCIC output also on the projection.

the main problem about the installation was the input people gave. we are not sure if it was the audience or the setting that resultet in output that was rather superficial and flat and didn’t really show the power of SATCIC. Tim reflects on the issue on his blog and also gives examples of what people typed in.

VisualBerlin members mapped facades of abandoned houses at the Spreepark Plänterwald during the Luft & Liebe festival as visual support. I mapped a tree with glimmering lights and butterflies to make it more alive.

Luxurious Outlook

admin — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 23:35:34 +0000

The shuttered doors and windows of an abandoned shop in the middle of Neukölln were covered with fitted screens to create the illusion of a balcony door and windows outlooking beautiful landscape seen from luxurious villas and penthouses worldwide. Run down sofas and couches were put around this virtual window. The sponaneity and dodginess of the whole setting as well as the name “Free & Easy Luxury” are meant to underline the humorous combination of this year’s motto “Luxus” for the street event in one of the poorest areas of Berlin. Screens were built together with Eklis Rellüm who also took care of the furniture around.

Luxus für Alle

admin — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 22:21:19 +0000

Collaborative installation with Eklis Rellüm and David Szauder who created a QuartzComposer application to realise an augmented reality game where people could wear virtual luxury articles on a video image of themselves. I made the luxury objects to wear and Eklis made the real objects to hold into the camera to host the vitual ones. The installation running at the VisualBerlin space at 48 Stunden Neukölln.
