I am a media artist from Germany. I love exploring the digital space beyond predefined paths – "Skate the web!".
A common goal of my work is to advocate for users' rights and freedoms. My work often revolves around topics such as culture, design, censorship and power dynamics on digital platforms.
My work, including collaborations with the Free Art & Technology Lab, has gained international recognition, with media outlets such as Arte, ZDF, Bild, and The New York Times reporting on it.
In the art world, my projects have been exhibited at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, Gray Area in San Francisco, ZKM Karlsruhe, Transmediale in Berlin and more.
