Statement

I work on slowing down the SEEING act - by making data physical.

Data made physical (tangible datasculptures)  have a history of 7000 years- remember Mesopotamian Clay Tokens or Inca Quipus. Nowadays, 3D printing effectively can physicalize datasculptures; We can pinpoint global issues in forms to be touched, also easier to be memorized- and I am going to make them talk (have a patent on that) This all means for me overcoming "FLATLAND" of studies, looking just at monitors, being caught in white noise of digital acts.

Second point: 3D printing will allow printing BIG, therefore also giving fresh impetus to the idea of sort of sandboxes ("Sandkästen" as tools for strategy and art communication) for museums and collectors. We can build up data landscapes.
