About

I don’t want to say too much – but not too little either. I’ll simply go with my intuition.
I feel I began working with texts as early as my youth, continuing this through my art studies in Munich, influenced by B.J.Blume (MoMA, Documenta). At the time, painting was facing an existential crisis – the question was: to paint or not to paint? To be honest, I’m still not entirely sure.

I painted anyway – first with Jorg Immendorff, then during the late-90s mood of the turn of the millennium. Some find these images slightly eerie. I searched indiscriminately for motifs from the past century in antique bookstores, libraries, flea markets, and old private photos. The images were painted using only two colors: a base tone and Vandyke brown for the light-dark contrast. I deliberately avoided blurring the paint as an interpretive aid – everything was meant to be clearly defined.

Alongside my painting, and sparked by the emerging gender discourse, I started a transgender-self-experiment that lasted several years. I documented this phase through photography and video, leading to a solo exhibition in Berlin and various group shows. Subsequently, I began writing radio play scripts and other texts, which are currently being processed as codes within the new panel-works. 
Building on this background, I am now translating these linguistic structures into systemic notations. In my recent panel-works, these texts serve as the foundational data, processed through Python code to reveal the underlying logic of the narrative.

Now, at the present, this website documents my current shift towards computational aesthetics. By integrating Python-based logic into my creative process, I am exploring new frontiers of algorithmic art. This development marks a deliberate expansion of my practice, where the boundaries between script, code, and visual systems dissolve.

Slightly outside of this trajectory lies a series of large-format paintings, primarily of US-racehorses. These were created after moving from Berlin to the outskirts of the former GDR, tapping into a transatlantic theme. They don’t quite fit the codes, nor the traces-images or other themes –but anyhow– I’ll try to put them in relation to the script work in new code projects.

I cannot boast a long list of exhibitions or major successes. I’ve had my chances, but I either ignored them or let them pass by unused – whether that was a mistake, I cannot say. – text = (“I knew the rules – I could not use that knowledge”) – rules = True, knowledge = False, if rules: knowledge = True, if knowledge: use = False
