lamperfection
WS25/26 MADFM HsPf as part of a one-week workshop with Jolan van der Wiel
In this experiment, the unpredictability of crack formation was developed into a design. Inspired by the impermanence of many construction materials, I treated acrylic glass with acetone, creating cracks that did not cause the material to break. This is an initial prototype of a series that will be further developed. In the future, this aesthetic will be evolved into lighting objects and combined with a variety of imperfect structures from previous projects, that you can read about in the following.
[CO]CREaiTION
WS25/26 MADFM HsPf team project as part of the course Mirror Machines, in collaboration with Flora Heiner (HsPf), Felix Donath (HHN), David Rischow (HHN)
This project is a fusion of art and AI, of intuition and technology. A specially trained AI module generates patterns that are unique every time, translating the aesthetics of randomness into the digital realm. Close-up images of my “kunstmitkanten” strokes served as the data source. The artificial intelligence is thus specialized in creating independently from human input. A rule-based system for generating unique patterns that forms the foundation of [CO]CREaiTION. In addition to projecting these ever-changing patterns, the installation includes an interaction module for visitors. Using fine granulate, they can intuitively draw with their hands. The creation is captured by a camera inside the glass table and overlaid live with the AI-generated pattern. In this way, human and machine can collaboratively create a work of art.
MOMENTATION
SS25 MADFM HsPf as part of the course Future of Making with Professor Christine Lüdeke
In this project, I explored the creation of unique structures through crystallization on textiles. The fabrics were placed in a bath of alum salt solution, allowing the crystallization process to naturally form its patterns. After complete evaporation, the crystal-covered fabrics were dipped in textile dye to transfer the structure onto them. The fabric was then washed, resulting in a one-of-a-kind print. Throughout the process, I also experimented with different textile compositions and the effect of heat on the salt.
kunstmitQuanten
SS25 MADFM HsPf as part of the course Digital Transformation with Professor Steffen Reichert, as part of the Quantum Open Innovation project and funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt
This pattern represents principles of quantum physics and enables a visual and intuitive connection to the quantum world. The system of quantum objects shown here exists in superposition—that is, the overlap of all possible states. When visitors interact with it, as in a measurement within an experiment, the objects become defined. This project is an attempt to make complex scientific concepts understandable and experienceable through artistic means.
