Selected Works : The Big Plot - Recombinant Fiction This is a spy-story played on the info-sphere, rendered into a new form of fiction. Four characters told a story using dialogues shown on YouTube videos, blog posts, via entries on their Facebook, Flickr and Twitter profiles. Actions in public environments completed the set of stages where the story was acted. Audiences had an active role in the story, they unfolded and created other pieces of fiction. The cloned identity of a real spy was used as a plot device to tell a story about the political and sentimental weakness of our era. The drama deconstructed language and symbolism of ideologies by remixing characters' lifes and identities with real-world patterns. - PDF Press Release, 15.Jan.09 - Critical text .Move Festival Catalogue (en)  (de) - Video explanation of the project by the author - Final Interview, Web Literature book.

It includes a basic taxonomy of social, economic and political concepts relevant to the creation of a perfect society, showing the direction of dependencies, feedback interactions, and the relative significance of qualities and activities.

It has been partly covered by stickers which alter the interpretation of its iconographic symbolism. The painting has been used as the backdrop for press conferences given by Silvio Berlusconi’s Italian government. The Prime Minister altered the painting, hiding the nipple of the woman (allegorically the truth). "Time and Truth Don't Unveil the Reason" concerns censorship and political consent. It suggests that time and truth alone are not sufficient for finding illumination by the light of reason – a position ever obfuscated by control over people’s perception of reality. - PDF Press Release, 08.July.09 - Selected installation pictures digital print PVC and vinyl stickers 250 x 170 cm Check-Check Reality This project focused on airport security regulations, seeing them as a worst case scenario of playing on peoples fears. It looked at how security is installed as a focal point in our daily lives. The online platform was set up in order to deprogram people from the PsyOps of the Security Theatre, and to solve ambivalent attitudes towards reality through providing an opportunity for self psycho-analyzation in the airport scenario.

The quotes no longer refer to the correct authors. In the mock website quotes are continually reordered randomly with different authors, spreading online misquotation mistakes as a form of liberation from the authorship fixation. This is a research into authorship issues in the era of the creative economy, with its attendant profusion of prosumers. - PDF Press Release, 10.Oct.07 - Selected installation pictures - website: www.peoplequotepeople.com engravings on white marble 30x19x4cm Amazon Noir This digital action (media hack and hack activism) was carried out in the global massmedia, within the art world and on a highly sophisticated technical level. Amazon e-commerce websites were vulnerable targets. We eluded the copyright protection with software robots that used the front door of “Search Inside” service. We stole digital complete volumes of books, reassembled them into pdf format and redistributed them for free. The action is documented by various types of offline conceptual installations.

We generated money by serving Google text advertisments on a network of hidden websites. With this money we automatically bought Google shares. We wanted to buy Google via their own advertisments. After this process we handed over the common ownership of "our" Google Shares to the GTTP Ltd. which distributed them back to the public. By establishing this autocannibalistic model we deconstructed the new global advertisment mechanisms by rendering them into a surreal click-based economic model. Furthermore, it was to show-case and unveil a total monopoly of information and a weakness of the new global advertisment system.
