Over the past 12 month I went to the printing department of a school in order to silk screen art. What I've done so far is visible at the silk screening artwork section.

Clever artworks, especially sculptures are nowadays designed in a way making it possible to decompose it. Art mustn't live for centuries. I'd like my art to vanish into thin air - which might be not possible because I most of the time use plastic, especially Floppy Disks.
The sculpture in the Video was standing on the balcony of a German artist house. Over 1 1/2 years wind, rain, ice, snow has clogged the floppy disks. Many labels were gone, many labels where illegible - BUT: the plastic is still in good, or even perfect shape.
Plastic is the hostage of humanity - and we are still using it for mass-produce.

The first Essen Artwalk took place from 7th - 9th September 2012. Various galleries, shops and theatres joined in establishing an extensive art precinct in the Essener district Nordstadt.

We have opened the schaltWerk in January. In the broadest sense it deals with a "Hackspace". The alignment is more towards art and less towards construction of robots. The later is naturally not missed out.
The schaltWerk, a place for interactive art and electronics, opened on 27/2 its doors at the Unperfekthaus. The former physics lab was redesigned over several months and was transformed to serve its new purpose. For the opening, Dominik Jais, the artist from Essen exhibited vast works of “Speicher & Bewegung”.
