'My field of activity concentrates on sound and interactive environments as well as

reactive systems; in short acustics and installation. I am interested in to what extent technologies can intensify or widen possibilities of expression; whether it is possible to reveal new perspectives. Technology is more than a machine and electricity. Questions are focused on practising. How technologies change cultural development and social structures, In my opinion the kernel of technology is nothing technical as well as the thing, what conducts trees is itself not a tree you could find in the woods. To rethink and experiencing techniques as something non-technical is the challenge for my artistic approach.'
