My main subject in my artistic work is to research the interaction in systems. f.ex.: How is the relations between individuals creating a system or how subtile are the influences in between the system members? To describe the parameters of interactivity, I use different artistic forms: Mechanial objects, acoustic mashines, photos, videos, drawings and performances. Often I set various parts in relation to each other to create a structure of chaos and order, which modifies itself.
