Hello Operator. In my work as creative technologist im driven by the desire to bring technological fantasies to life - whether it's designing interactions of body-responsive machine-, sound-, light- , automation- or multi-agent systems or technical ecologies or spending my time soundscaping. Storytelling is at the heart of my work. I often find myself bringing tools or interfaces alive which allow interactions within a speculative framework I've designed. This framework then serves as a "playground", which forms the base for the most rewarding part of my practice: "play". Once i explore how to combine different mediums to forge an "unstable system", it feels like im playing with Lego's. The outcome of my work always is determined by a holistic approach or also "playing". I believe in the power of mistakes as stepping stones to self-discovery. It happens a lot that i start with an idea and notice that my expected outcome was different in reality. Then, after trying to find fixes or workarounds, i discover routes which are far more interesting and i dive head-first into them. This can happen multiple times before i am fully content with my idea. Once we let go of the fear of making mistakes, we reflect, adapt and grow. My goal is to create platforms and systems for my audience to reach this point of self-discovery.
