- Project Manager of the random journey adventure app *Randonautica*

Spanning various disciplines, including live video performance, installations, ambient music, the creation of code and electronic devices my creative process often revolves around "*placeness*" and "*temporality*." This board collects the technical side of it: the code, the machines, the text interfaces, and a thread that runs from walking around Berlin at night to writing entropy sources in Rust. Some of it has been here since 2004 and has been dragged through a succession of blogs that came and went in between, recovered from database dumps more than once.

Using *place* as an active agent that informs and shapes both the content and form of my work, I draw on the highly subjective concepts of *psychogeography* and the *spirit of place*. I also incorporate *suspension of disbelief* and *magical thinking* within my practice to explore the boundaries between the material and the immaterial, allowing my creative work to expand into the *metaphysical*. The areas here are not categories so much as the shapes that work has taken.
