Laufende Termine
The World In My Hand
18. April – 31. October 2024
Gruppenausstellung, Alexanser Tutsek-Stiftung, München
Decoding the Black Box
27. January – 2. June 2024
Gruppenausstellung, Galerie Stadt Sindelfingen, Sindelfingen
Die Ausstellung Decoding the Black Box bringt Künstlerinnen und Künstler zusammen, die Licht in diesen dunklen Raum und die Prozesse werfen, die sich in ihm ereignen. Sie legen dabei nicht nur die Funktionsweisen digitaler Technologien wie beispielsweise von künstlicher Intelligenz offen, sondern visualisieren zugleich die Auswirkungen, die sie auf unsere Wahrnehmung von Realität und unser In-der-Welt-Sein haben. Während sie die ökonomischen und machtpolitischen Strukturen der digitalen Technologien und insbesondere des Internets transparent machen, zeigen sie Gegenentwürfe für eine dezentralisierte, humanere und demokratischere Nutzung ebendieser auf.

Speed Show lands in Greece, the country of souvlaki, the sun (yes we can claim that they originated a celestial body), ouzo, feta, an enormous financial debt. Currently, Greece is also trending for all the wrong reasons namely, gentrification, queerphobia, state crimes and more dystopic incidents.
As 2024 unfolds, we find ourselves amidst a whirlwind of confusion, bombarded with a cacophony of online horrors to consume, an attention span further abbreviated by TikTok’s algorithm and the barrage of incoming stitches.
Stitches Incoming serve as a conduit for creators to engage and converse, traversing from one topic to the next. They have evolved into a new social fabric, weaving connections within an ever-shifting digital and physical landscape while also serving as a testament to personal and collective traumas, both past and present.
What unites the participating digital artists? Perhaps everything and nothing simultaneously… Departing from the traditional Speed Show setup, where artworks are carefully stacked inside internet cafe computers, and drawing inspiration from the structure of TikTok stitches, each piece seems to propel the conversation forward, or perhaps uses the next as a springboard for its own narrative.
Stitch this and stitch that, we have everything you ever wanted (maybe) ! Are we stuck in an infinite loop of sh*tposting, valuable content, the highlight of social issues, personal and interpersonal experiences?
Maybe! Come and find out…

„Chat“ at 24C3
I am planning to show the latest Chat version at 24C3 Chaos Communication Congess Berlin ( 27-30.12.07 ) on sat. 29.12 from 5 pm till open end.
Merry X-mas to everybody! See you next year!
„Typing of the death“
Inspired by the „Chat“ pics below
somebody did send Jonah this link. An edutainment game called „Typing of the death“ released for dreamcast in 2000. Instead of shoting zombies players have to type the right letters to kill them. lol
Maybe I should modify „Chat“ for doing that too. 😉
Thx for the link Jonah!
„Chat“ vers.2.0 preview
I am working on a new version of the mobile installation/performance „Chat“ (premiered during Ars Electronica 07). This version will be shown during Clubtransmediale in Jan/Feb 2008. Stay tuned!
More speech bubbles
While I was performing „Chat“ at Marienstrasse, 2nd City, Ars Electronica 2007 the G.R.L. guys were joking, making sure the got the biggest chat bubble. Imagine me standing with my „Chat“ speech bubble next to the wall in this pic. It’s always a lot of fun having James and Evan around.
Today Tobi (aka Mr.Timemachine-Firefox-retro-plugin) who was part of my 2nd City shop team send me this link.
Somehow the project TXTual Healing by Paul Notzold appears to be a nice combination of GRL lasertagging and public speechbubbles. Check it out!
„Chat“, full documentation.
Chat documentation completed!
The Chat project is a mobile performance installation that can be played by two people at a time. Just like in World of Warcraft or Second Life, the two participants communicate with each other in the form of brief text messages input via keyboard. Immediately after they’ve been entered, the written communiqués appear in comic-strip-like dialogue balloons projected above the speaker’s head.

New Project: Chat
Good news! Upcoming project Chat is part of the Second City area I am working on at Ars Electronica. But I will talk about this whole Ars-Second-Life topic later.
The project Chat is of course the next stepp coming from the project Speech Bubble. In fact the concept of Chat is even older than the Speech Bubble project.
Project description goes something like this:
Chat is an interactive installation and a performance in
public space.
Similar to online computer games like Second Life or
World of Warcraft two persons are having a conversation
by writing text messages on a keyboard. The speech
bubble floating above the participants head displays the
written words of this ‘player’ in real time. The wireless
keyboard is connected to a PDA. A very small and light
weight LED beamer projects the text messages on the
translucent speech bubble. The whole equipment and
the speech bubble are attached to a stick which is carried
by a technician. These two technicians do follow each
participant individually so that the speech bubble stays
above the ‘players’ head even if they move.
It is recommended to show this piece at night or dark
places. Crowded clubs or conferences with many people
on a spot are a good environment to run this installation.
There is a more detailed german text version which will be translated for the AEC catalogue.
More infos about Ars Electronica and Second Life coming soon. Nice projects and workshops. It sgoing to be fun.
(By the way, the comment of Ahmet made me blog this. Sure, everybody wants the interactive speech bubble. Although I do like the first version very much)
