I like to bring pixel into the material world. They were never meant for that. They are artifacts of former technical limitations. I like to research their qualities for transporting symbolic structures, creating works, with references to minimalism, abstract and op art. This is my current way of questioning these digitally dominant times.
My work is concerned with symbols and their effects on the human psyche, both on a subjective level and in group behaviour. In my visual repertoire I prefer to use the 8-bit aesthetics of early video games as well as the abstract symbolism of shamanism and the sacred. As a guiding principle for my work, I chose the epithet Mu as signature.
