-  description: "Post-digital layers, ambiguities and background noise. An associative lecture-­performance. A draft out of post­-utopian fragments. An invitation to exchange thoughts, while blurring the line between focus and diffusion."
+  description: "My work stems from interest in the effects of time on matter: modification, deterioration and disappearance. Whether the focus is on digital forms or rough materials, large scales of time or microscopic details, the goal of my work is to re-adapt existing objects and materials into parallel contexts where their signified meanings, symbols and cultural connections have become residual ghosts. I like to imagine false paradigms, inexistent branches of research and fictional sciences in order to create unrealistic questionings as a basis for a new work. Form emerges through a process of collecting, filtering and combining phenomena (objects, data, sounds, images) that is linked to the conjecture. There are explorations and structures in this 'research' but no conclusions, except the ones you make."

+  artist_bio: "The Berlin based artists Malte Steiner and Wolfgang Spahn are exploring the artistic potential of embedded open source systems. These small-sized computing platforms gives the possibility to combine a multitude of independent devices to create a more powerful system than most single computers can provide. Based on the idea of free tools for free art, all hard- and software is open source and can be used, modified and improved by all other artists. Instead of using one high tech super computer for multiprojection Spahn and Steiner developed and share a system which allows theoreticaly the connection of thousands of independent embedded platforms for one gigantic multivision show and still keep the costs low by using the cheap mini computer Raspberry Pi, a platform originally designed for eductional purposes."
