Statement
I´m fascinated by all kinda computer and game graphics, procedural driven
and generative art, interactive design and digital beauty - which all together are
the results of simple mathematical or algorithmic processes. For me, my creative
process is writing my own software, programs and scripts to play, explore, experiment
and generate beauty with code and numbers.
My passion I´m focussing on is the aesthetics and methodology of digital created
fluids like water and such.
