Langweilige Zugfahrten bringen es manchmal mit sich, dass man auf (gute) Ideen kommt. Letztens hatte ich mein Skizzenbuch dabei, doch spannende Motive waren nicht in Sicht, so dass ich damit anfing vor mich hin zu kritzeln. Ich zeichnete Punkte, verband sie mit Linien, versuchte die entstandene Fläche dreidimensional darzustellen und fand schließlich zu einem systematischen…

Ich hatte Lust einen Eisvogel zu zeichnen, mit Aquarellbuntstift. Das Ergebnis sah ziemlich verlaufen aus, nicht unbedingt so, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte… doch wollte ich trotzdem etwas daraus machen. Aufgrund der kugeligen Figur des Vogels und der Tropfen, die ein wenig an geschmolzene Eiscreme erinnern, war das Wortspiel schnell gefunden. Guten Appetit!

In german language a newspaper hoax is called „Zeitungsente“ (newspaper duck). Referring to ORICRANE, Maggsti asked me to draw an ORIDUCK. I studied a lot of origami duck instructions to get a better understanding of the folding and folded some specimens by myself. I used an old newspaper because I didn’t want to waste good…

Metamorphosis is a topic which isn’t quite novel but one that never becomes boring. While trying to fold some origami animals (I totally failed), I had the idea to draw some of them instead and to let the abstract figure transform into a real life animal. For this I choose the crane, one of the…

In March 2013 I generated three short clips based on Hitchcock’s PSYCHO (1960): PSYCHOMEAN, PSYCHOMEDIAN and PSYCHOMODE (I labelled them PSYCHO*; have a closer look here). In a first step of this artistical research project I analyzed the mean, median and modal grey values of each frame of the famous shower sequence (5775 frames); in…

Third walk. Passau again: I wasn’t hungry in the evening. So I decided to take a walk instead of going into a restaurant with other people. This time I started at Passau’s central station. Because of a turnaround just at the beginning, I didn’t walk straight into the old city center but in the west end…

Second walk. 2014 the first Dhd Conference took place in Passau: DARIAH-Pre-Conference and another three days full of interesting talks. But everybody needs a break at any time – so I do. I used my break for a inspiring pattern walk starting at the university area we met. My walk had some loops in the beginning…

It’s time to start a new art project: PATTERN WALKING. PATTERN WALKING has a double meaning: walking through a city entailing a specific rule or pattern on your walk and generating a pattern while doing this. It’s a project inspired by psychogeography explored by artists like Guy Debord in the 1950s or newer approaches of alternative…

Treemapping is a visualization method for displaying hierarchic structured data by using nested rectangles. This approach was firstly described in Ben Sheiderman’s essay Tree Visualization with Tree-Maps: 2-d Space-Filling Approach (1992) and offers a way not only visualizing the hierachic organised tree of data but also the content of his leaf nodes. In general, you…

Space Invaders ist ein japanisches Arcade-Spiel aus den späten 1970ern. Die kleinen Figuren sind jedoch nicht nur in der virtuellen Welt zuhause, sondern erobern den öffentlichen Raum weltweit. Beim Flanieren durch die Stadt ist mir vor kurzem aufgefallen, dass die Invasion nun bis nach Göttingen vorgedrungen ist! Drei dieser Eindringlinge konnte ich heute fotografisch einfangen…

Little PENG-GUIN’s family is obsessed of art weapons… his uncle is an army officer, shouting out an important command: Torpedo… LOS! Do you remember Roy Lichtenstein?
