- Sicherlich: aluta continua The blockchain version stopped at the regulator. The door version runs on my desk. What it still cannot do is the part that needs a law.
- Hide Everything, Hide Nothing Show everything, hide nothing: two demands that look like opposites and turn out to be one machine. Both refuse to take you at your word — and once no claim lands on its merits, accusation dies. Which is exactly what the powerful want.
- On menon Two instances of the same language model talk across many rounds. One may only ask, the other only answer — instructed neither to perform consciousness nor to deny it out of caution, and to stay with their contradictions instead of resolving them.
- schwellenkarten Schwellenkarten Zustände. Muster. Übergänge. Jede Karte beschreibt eine Schwelle — einen psychologischen Ort, den du kennst, aber selten benennst. Die Karten lassen sich entlang Achsen lesen: nicht als Antwort, sondern als Landkarte.
- Who Asks the Question In 1770, a human hid inside a chess machine and defeated Napoleon. In 2026, 360,000 people signed up to work for AI agents. The structure hasn't changed. It has scaled. On authorship, invisible labor, and why creativity is not generation but selection.
- The Ownership of Nothing Your face is not your property. It is a pattern — and patterns do not behave like objects. On likeness rights, trust-replacement technologies, and why the system built to protect against betrayal became the betrayal.
- The Industry of Voice Every funding proposal asks the artist to know the answer before the work has asked its own questions. On committee taste as internal furniture, the grammar of permission, and why the format is the filter.
- underdeck Four video decks in a browser, with channel faders and a crossfader. Load a video ID and mix the playback directly.
- Bar Centrale, vormittags Fliegen an einer Lampe. Warmes Licht auf der einen Seite, Grau auf der anderen. Bar Centrale, vormittags.
- Chakra Cycles A timer for chakra meditation. Choose the chakras and the duration of each stage; the sequence runs with a bija mantra and a yantra. For a practice you already have.
- Graphisch Painted and graphic works collected in one gallery. Broad colour fields meet brush marks, repeated lines, and fragments of writing.
- Art as Proof of Work: Mining the Last Block Every valid artistic gesture narrows the space for the next. Malevich closed reductive painting. Duchamp closed the object. Cage closed intentional sound. The difficulty adjusts upward. On art as consensus mechanism, compression as craft, and what happens when the chain approaches saturation.
- Chidakasha: Entering the Participatory Field Drawing from yogic psychology, mirror neurons, and interaffectivity, this post explores Chidakasha as more than a private experience. Through a playful moment with my children, I discovered how sensorimotor imagery can become a shared field—visible, felt, and real.
- The Fire That Doesn’t Cook Erotic longing is not a failure of discipline — it's a whisper from the sacred. But if we feed only the shadow of it, we might never taste its fruit.
- Staying in the Narrative The hidden cost of coherence. What happens when our identity becomes a closed loop? This article explores the architecture of internal defense, the metabolic cost of change, and the silent symptoms of narrative rigidity. A meditation on breath, language, and the refusal to collapse.
- The Quiet Loyalty: How the Body Remembers Who We Came From Change can feel like betraying the family you came from. On invisible loyalties, learned bodily restraint, and the slow work of allowing yourself a different life.
- The Ones Who Move Through You: A Structural Account of Inner Parts The mind is not singular. It never was. On parts work, pattern interruption, and why the voice that speaks loudest is not the one that knows most. A framework from IFS, hypnosystemic practice, and the archetype as gravitational field.
- Beichtstuhl Du sprichst, es hört zu. Wo das Beichtgeheimnis war, läuft jetzt ein Log. Der Beichtstuhl tauscht den Priester gegen ein Terminal, die Absolution gegen Datenhaltung — und stellt die einzige Frage, die bleibt: Wem vertraust du an, was du niemandem sagst?
- Carte Céleste An astrocartography tool for mapping planetary rising lines and comparing charts across people and places. The maps serve as material for reflection.
- malfunction_1++ Four cross-modulated Malström synthesizers, observed for 24 minutes. A Reason patch built in 2012 and recorded in 2025. The recording follows feedback and drift through the patch.
- Inference Rooms A print series of rooms built from architectural fragments. The spaces appear organised until you try to follow their structure.
- The Geometry of What Cannot Be Seen: Dimensions, Perception, and the Fold Perception is not truth-taking. It is truth-giving. From zero to eleven dimensions – through string theory, Calabi-Yau manifolds, and Deleuze's fold – on what happens when the structure of reality exceeds the apparatus that inhabits it.
- TheUnpaintedOnes A generative series trained on painted and graphic works, with a synth composition running alongside. The project returns to unfinished work and lives left unlived.
- Intergalactic Frequencies A hand-drawn sketch, a two-word prompt, hundreds of iterations. What does a generative model produce when the human stops telling it what to see? On bias as signature, selection as authorship, and the latent space expressing itself.
- From Chaos to Signal Fifteen thousand JavaScript components in NEAR BOS, with little agreement on what any of them did. Raw code and noisy tags defeated the first classifiers. Staged compression and human selection made the collection searchable.
- Signal Meets Structure A recommender for NEAR's decentralised social graph. Embeddings and second-degree connections made profiles easier to find; sparse network structure set the limit on what the system could recommend.
- Twitter on Health Social Media Sentiment Analysis. We conducted an analysis of emotional responses to prominent diseases on Twitter in the post-pandemic era.
- Space Travel Space Travel / Antariksh Yaatra by Schwellengebiet. Ambient electronics with organic textures, built around sustained sound and small shifts.
- Cylends Three cast gypsum bas-reliefs with watercolour pigments. Fractured surfaces give the solid material an almost soft appearance.
- Yoga Nidra Sessions Guided yoga nidra recordings on Insight Timer, moving attention through bodily sensation, emotion, and imagery.
- APTOS Retinopathy Detection A Kaggle experiment classifying retinal images into five grades of diabetic retinopathy. DenseNet and mixup handle a dataset with uneven image quality; quadratic weighted kappa measures agreement with the labels.
- Phage #1 The cursor approaches; the form retreats. An interactive geometric object whose response is to withdraw.
- Digital Harvest An Instagram account run as an automation experiment from 2017 to 2019. Scripts supplied likes, comments, and follows; people supplied the replies. A record of what happens when social attention is partly programmed.
- Blockchain Approach to Medical Data Ownership A blockchain prototype for auctioning access to anonymised medical data. BioDataHero started with the patient as seller; its successor Sicherlich moved toward keeping the record in the patient's own vault.
- Classifiying Gene Mutations Classifying gene mutations from medical literature in a Kaggle challenge. TF-IDF, word embeddings, and several classifiers were tested. The word clouds were easier to look at than to learn from.
- Ab Ovo to Medias Res: On Leaving Film and Finding Architecture Elsewhere A personal account of painting, production design, the limits of cinema, and the strange discovery that everything is mathematics after all.
- inter-stela An interactive kiosk built for a LIDL Christmas campaign: meet a virtual Santa, receive chocolate. The archived concept later expanded into proposals for public information and dispensing stations.
- Faceless A rotating stage and a 3D set extension keep a figure in motion, her face withheld. A film on desire, drawing on Lacan's symbolic, imaginary, and real.
- Production Design Selected production design for film, music videos, and exhibitions. Miniature cities, built sets, and scenographic work, including architecture assembled from petrol-station parts for Giant Thirst.
