********* THIS WORK WAS NOMINATED FOR THE STRABAG ARTAWARD 2020
and is only limited available at the moment! *********

As an essential feature of my visual language I use the Cellular Vending Machine. This was introduced around 1940 as a universal calculation model and was considered an important basis for artificial life. In these works, however, the arrangements of geometric forms and grids are no longer analog, but digital
generated. On the body of the picture, however, they encounter the painterly gesture and graphic interventions that reconstruct the digital codes and intervene with them. The manifold interweavings and overlaps thus take place at the interface between analogue and digital and build themselves into spatial dynamic systems, which are used as abecedarium in the composition. The interplay between the sterile computer-generated material and the painterly and graphic elements as traces of human intervention, the competition of two cellular systems, gives rise to the dynamic formal language of these works.

"As a starting point I use codes from the binary system, which provide the cellular "default" for the analog conversion. These codes are used in a calculation developed by me and thus make it possible to find a sub-range from the continuously self-developed algorithm. This procedure allows me a controlled application of the cellular automaton. The meeting of hard digital forms / outputs allows those within the forms to form a network of a new kind of composition. Hard digital forms/outputs meet within the image area and fuse into a network of a new composition.
Questions that arise are, for example, the extent to which we are dependent on technology and how we will deal with it in society. How will it be able to exert artistic influence and where will we start to promote human creativity?"
