2 Homunculus sculpture x 1.3 x 1m metal, motor, cord, battery, tin casting The metal rod who is hanging on a cord in the middle of the sculpture is turning through a motor around his own axis. This movement leads to a twisting cord that shorts the distance to the tin casting. The sculpture rocks and the stick move unpredictably.

9 If you boil a frog The interventions are marked by a slow, hardly noticeable change. The title of the exhibition if you boil a frog describes behaviour in relation to an unnoticed increase of a factor within a system. The saying is based on a myth, which was disproven scientifically. It claimed, a frog would not notice if he was cooked slowly, but would jump away if you threw it into boiling water. Do you know The screen in the entrance hall shows the 250 top movies listed on IMDb (International Movie Database). They are played one after the other for the entire duration of the exhibition. The list is based on an online ranking, which is generated by assessing the number and kind of evaluations. From movies just recently played in theatres to old classics, the list includes a great variety of stories which are remembered instantly when viewed again. I said all the words in this sentence In the halls, audio installations are triggered upon entering. The presence of the visitor is indicated by the recording. This results in the sound pieces generating a rhythmic, acoustic frame. In the first passage, a computer generated voice speaks sentences that describe itself and hence expand endlessly. In the second door, words are spoken that have a poetic ring, but are names of processors. The single letters are exponential multiplied and become individual fragments. The sound is only triggered when entering the room. these crustaceans were distributed as sea monkeys in form of give-aways in comic books. The advertisement targeting children presented the crustaceans as beings that enjoy a royal existence in a fairy-tale like underwater world. Motivated by this child-like idea, cultivating them turns into a scientific observation. The sea monkeys grow bigger and faster than Artemia salinas. No more rave The presented idea of sea monkeys is reflected on the front page of the publication no more rave. Designed similarly to a sketch book or a diary, it consists of empty, color-printed pages. The colors are deduced from the computer program if or else, which is projected in both rooms. If or else Colored balls jump through a white space free of gravity, with an arm swinging above trying to catch them. Once a ball is caught, the entire screen is projected in its color for a certain a mount of time. The colors are generated randomly by the program. In both rooms, the program starts with the same conditions. 1,2,4 and more / 8,16,24 and more Another part of this set of works are concrete poles sealed in plastic and surrounded by vinegar. The liquid erodes the concrete, deposits of it can be seen. In the second room it is soaking in acetic acid, which causes the reaction to run faster. The two almost symmetrical rooms in the city gallery each contain one set of works. At first glance, they are not distinguishable. However, some factors are accelerated in the second room. This increase within the different systems demonstrates the diverse strategies which can be applied to standing one s ground under ever changing conditions. In the front aquariums live the ancient crustacean Artemia salina. Thanks to their adaptability to their specific habitat they have survived for 195 Million years. The species Artemia nyos lives in a second aquarium. In the 60ies,

By heating the steel, the poles bent. When they cooled off, they went back into their original form. In the exhibition project, better ideas for life five artist from Switzerland and five artists from the Czech Republic are working on two exhibitions at two different places in two different countries Basel ( Ausstellungsraum Klingetal) Prague ( Karlin Studios)

18 qwertz installation 2015 mixed media An aluminum structure with the masses four by eight meter long and three meters high is pulled together by an electric gear motor in the middle of the room. Ball microphone on the ceiling record the noises in the room for five minutes. During the recording, the engine is running. After five minutes, the motor stops and the audio start to play directly. After playing the recording, the motor begins to pull and the microphones to record again. The current recording will be placed on the previous ones so that all recordings are over each other. Then they played simultaneously. This procedural loop runs during the opening times of the space.

21 till now installation 2015 mixed media The individual elements of the installation are spatially separated. A screen displays various screensaver. Each screen saver is shown once. the duration of the video is the duration of the opening time of the exhibition. A speaker starts counting at the beginning of the exhibition at the number one. It is counting in steps of one up for the entire duration of the exhibition (also outside of opening times). A Speaker is playing an audio file that was recorded the day before. The recording is renewed every day. It is as long as the opening times of the museum. A carbon fiber rod bends slowly and stretched again loop 30 min.

25 Das Be ist B The exhibition consisted of various rhythms superimposed over the duration of the exhibition period. The processes were arranged on the basis of a fractal principle. The exhibition was based on symmetries in the room that are broken by the process of the works during the exhibition period. The work diving consists of an aquarium that is felt with 30l water that is connected via rope rolls on an African blue king granite block 25kg. By the water evaporate in the aquarium, it loses weight. During the exhibition, a time is reached at which the tank is lighter than the block of granite, which has the consequence that the block falls to the ground. At work vibration a servo motor strikes a silk thread, on which hangs a lead weight. The thread with the weight starts to vibrate. On the point of completed still standing the motor strikes again on the thread. At work, X, Y, Z a motor stretched and relaxed an elastic thread attached diagonally across a corner of the room. The work darft fading consists two laser pointer which are mounted on the building on the opposite of the exhibition space. The pointers shine into the space. Through the wind, the points are moved on the wall in the exhibition space. The work V consists of a concrete slab was poured the basis of symmetries in space. The plate gets transformed from a motor on with cast steel ropes slowly during the opening times 0.3 U / min.

34 Ungenau/Präzision installation 2014 mixed media The work performs various movements. Each motion differs from the previous one. By different rhythms, the movements are intensified. The programming controls the movements consists of fixed as well as pseudo-random and random elements. The system interacts, through programming, with itself. A mouse is drawn through the movement in a self-written drawing program that is displayed on an LCD screen.

37 Struktur installation 2013 aluminum, rope, motor, metal Seven, 1.5 to 2.2m aluminum plates are slowly pulled up on ropes. By pulling up and lowering the the positions of the plates always change. By clashing, scraping, sliding and rubbing together result in noise.

This process causes a spiral-shaped traction onto the two frames. This traction is increased throughout the whole time of the exhibition. The sculpture is made up of two metal frames, and four aluminum sheets that are each 4 meters in width and 3 meters in height, an electrical geared motor, and a polyamide rope.
