These experiments explore the complexity and emergence of the invisible, and the computational paradigm of natural sciences.
He is best known for his video art experiment aDiatomea (2007), exhibited at Ernst Haeckel’s Phyletic Museum and the generative short film The Flow (2011) which even made it into a Breaking Bad episode. His art and design practice ranges from screen-based media, to projection and print.
