I am an artist and researcher who combines installation, video, performance, intervention, graphics, sound, text, code and speech with theory, conversation and writing.

I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and hold a PhD from the Centre for Research Architecture, Department of Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths, University of London, where I was a researcher at Forensic Architecture.

My practice is to a large extent engaged in thinking, working and making together, amongst many others with the artist Sylvia Eckermann and the Technopolitics working group, Vienna.

I also realize and curate postdisciplinary formats, such as the art series The Future of Demonstration with Sylvia Eckermann. These speculative artistic platforms bring together different fields, spaces, disciplines and ecologies in specific settings with the aim to explore re-entanglement as a way to shift our relations within worlds to more-than-human sensing, sense-making, and resolution.

My work has been shown internationally since the late 1990s and I have also lectured and published widely.

In my research, I have focused on what I term the derivative condition of technocapitalism, a performative and data intense mode whose power to claim the future derives to a significant degree from finance models, technologies, operations and narratives.

As part of this involvement, I work on activating the semiotic field of the term resolution as an concept and toolbox against (data-driven) non-transparency to counter capitalist politics of extractiion, exploitation, and alienation by unlocking the intertwined layers of perception and cognition, knowledge and experience.

And I explore renegade activism as a risk sharing agency that transforms resistance from critique and dissent towards betrayal and insurrection against the injustice, violence and war on social, political and ecological levels.
