Skies Away - a studio Archaeology painting project

"Skies Away" is an experimental Studio-Floor-Transfer-painting-series in progress.

The series consists of thin color excavations being preserved on linen, handkerchiefs and paper,

 embracing the accidental outcome.

"Skies Away" is peeling off paint that has accumulated on the in plastic covered studio floor over the course of the past 7 years.

Meta_Face - exploitable for digital harvest

check it out on vimeo

Meta_Face observes our obsessions and addictions in a digitalized world. Through our devices and social media we are being deep-faced, spied-on, infiltrated and manipulated to become vulnerable addicts, exploitable for perpetual digital harvest.

DEADplanetFINE*

DEADplanetFINE* 

An Uber-Wahnsinn paranoid trembling project 

DEADplanetFINE*, is a web 1.0 retro-renaissance remixology project consisting of looped animated mouseover-gif-film-crawls.

DEADplanetFINE*, are animated acid humorous social-commentary-line-drawings interwoven with abstract blink-scrolls, that reflect on the nightmarish state of the world.The project touches issues of war, race, rape, violence, loneliness, torture, sexism, porn, gadgetism, obsenity, power, greed, intoxication, pollution and the human folly in general.

Depending on the movement of the mouse the animations take on various speeds and directions of motion.

DEADplanetFINE*, uses a poly-linguistic-sound-blur-drone. The languages are used for their phonetics and not for the meaning of the words. 

DEADplanetFINE* attempts to expose, in a funny way, the crazy world we live in, which seems to have followed the same principle over the past aeons, which is the perpetual reoccurrence of the same.

Traces of Times Past - Angel Island Speed Shows

 

Traces of Times Past

Angel Island Speed shows

Temporary space occupations @ Angel Island’s Fort McDowell’s East Garrison,

South–East shore, 37.86˚N 122.43˚W

A squatter residency in 2 acts

“Traces of times past” are ephemeral performative drawing installations in a former hospital at Fort McDowell on Angel Island in the Bay of San Francisco.

The project is part of the evolving NIESATT drawing and multimedia hybridization project an evolving exploration of time and the process of exercising being. “Traces of times past” are reenacted, retracings of possible walking patterns in a once busy military hospital, using white letter-size paper to draw on floor-spaces, building lines that are connecting rooms, becoming aesthetic incisions in a morbid environment.  “Traces of times past” is a project that sees drawing as an activity rather then a product, emphasizing the process over the result.

The project consists of two ephemeral occupation sessions, each between one and two hours of continuous floor-work. "Traces of Times Past" is video and photo-documented, incorporating sounds and shapes of visitors checking out the space. This project is a disclosure of the artistic process for an unprepared audience. 

Session 1 - October 1^st, 2013, 10:40 am – 11:55 am, sunny, light breeze,  21˚C

    - Approximately 10 visitors, no comment

    - Strong facial itching after the session, probably caused by mildew, dust and ancient skin cells.

 selected images from session 1- with the help of the wind

Session 2 – October 8^th, 2013, 11:02 am – 12:33 pm, partly cloudy, windy, 19˚C

-       Approximately 20 visitors, laughter, one person said: “morons”

-       Worked partially with dust mask, no itching afterwards.

Workstation Sisyphus - an office for unsolvable problems project

News from The office for unsolvable problems

Workstation Sisyphus

variations 2013

Workstation Sisyphus is a mixed media room installation in variable dimensions, consisting of laptop computer(s) (showing drawings and caricatures of the human folly as slide shows) as well as cushion(s), clothes, shoes, books, stones, flowers etc. and “time sheets”, which are unwanted drawings, paintings, prints, sketches, notes, flyers, form-letters, texts, everything ready to be torn up and thrown away, or anything considered not being a “finished” art-piece in the 8,5 x 11 inches paper format; anything that could be recycled, reused, reworked and re-contextualized.

Workstation Sisyphus explores the eternal concept of up hill rock-pushing as a symbol for the absurdity of human life. The “time sheets” used for this project symbolize the creative process as a repetitive doing, a constant up and down to make something meaningful; art as means of finding meaning within meaninglessness.
