e developed a very useful application for the android plattform (as well as for the iPhone platform - but it got rejected for the use of profanity) which lets you swear and insult in different languages. The application provides you with a list of swears for each language with a english translation, a sound file and a rating of how bad each swear is. If you shake the phone, it will play a random swear soundfile.

Developed in Java for the Android plattform.

Together with Information Architect Moritz Stefaner, we implemented elastic lists in Flash 8 and Flex 3.

Elastic lists are especially useful for browsing multi-faceted data structures. Our Clients use them for making complex business data easy accessible and navigable. Within facets, color, shading, size and position are used to visualize information about the current filter. One can filter large amounts of ever changing data in a way that lets the user directly see how the filter he sets effect the context data in other levels and facets of the list: they simultaneously update with animated transitions if a new filter is applied.

At BizSphere we develop together with SVA Bizsphere Rich Internet Applications in Flex and Flash 8 / 9 for major technology companies.

These business intelligence visualization tools provide a international web platform for the company's employees. It enables them to share and find relevant company information and documents worldwide and to communicate in various ways through the platform. Further we provide the Users with Flex-based custom Editors for their needs and information.

In the beginning of 2006 I worked as an Intern Flash Developer at Aiirbag in Nyc. After my internship period was over, they hired me to build a Content Management System for their customers. Since they create rather experimental websites and applications, Aiirbag did not want to use a CMS that already existed on the market.

The requirements were:

• interchangeable design interface for websites with different focuses and structures.
• userfriendly handling (after all, one motivation was to get less calls for updates by customers)
• a Flash interface, applicable for any website, HTML sites as well as flash site based on an XML-file.

It contains:

• an HTML-/texteditor,
• a filebrowser,
• drag+drop way of adding, deleting and exchanging the website's templates within the site's structure,
• as well as the possibilities to fill and change and delete a template’s content.
• Further it has the possibility to restrict the changes made by the user to maintain the sites original design (ie. colors, size, font, textlength, filesizes, imagesizes, template-count, etc.)

I made it mainly in OOP Actionscript 2, Javascript and PHP for the server-communication. It is based on the website's XML, as well as an XML-file that contains metadata from a custom built metadata-dictionary with which one can control the user's changes in various ways.

My final thesis dealt with interactive film, usability and webtechnologies for non-textual media.

• I searched already existing software for creating interactive film-projects and did thorough usability testing on the user interface of one application, the freeware tool Korsakow-system.
• Further I evaluated the use of ontologies (tree structures, i.e. yahoo) vs. folksonomies (social tagging, i.e. flickr, deliscious, gmail) for large amounts of ever-changing non-textual content (sound, video or images) in the digital medium in general.
• I then researched their use for applications that use nonlinear interactive storytelling of any kind.

This was a university project which reinterpreted early works of pioneer computer artists such as Georg Nees, Manfred Mohr and Frieder Nake in the form of installations. A collegue and I worked on an installation based on a plotted piece by Frieder Nake (1963).

Computer generated art in the 60's mainly used random numbers as input and plotted the outcome images on paper. Our programs were inspired by these plotted images and coded from scratch. While the 60's computer artists used digital means for the creation of their art, we wanted to find a way to also mediate the pieces using the computer, by placing them into interactive crossmedia installations.

The outcome of our program, projected onto a wall, changed in various ways on viewer interaction. Photo-sensors were spread through the exhibition area to record positioning, height and grouping of the visitors. Their signals were analyzed algorithmically to give an immediate response in the projection, causing it to change in color, form, speed and composition.

profile intermedia: An anual international cross-media conference and fair between design, architecture photography music performance and digital media. profile intermedia 5 in december 2002 was under the motto of 'contrast' and it had approx. 1000 visitors form 12 countries.

It is anually organised under Prof. Rea by a team 5-7 students over the time of ca 9 months. it has a completly differnet visual language and appereance each year. the differnet jobs that are assigned are Sponsoring, PR and Speakercoordination, Fair and exhibition organisation , Desin and web. - with a close teamwork across the different duties.

my work consisted of organising the fair:

• creating the inner architectual space of the fair (2.100 sqm): it held 6 workshop-spaces,for 30 people each, for workshops to run simultaneously without audible disturbing one another. it had to have well lit walls that could be used as exhibition space. In general an adventure to walk through, to be able to discover new things that can not be overseen from the entrance, yet give a clear overview where what workshop takes place.
• canvassing customers(mostly artists, companies, brands(?is the same as companies??) and schools) to sell booths and exhibitions space to.
• buget management and negotiation with exhibitors as well as with builders and technicans
• supervising the construction and dismantling.

OVERSPRAY exhibition: an international stencilart exhibition in Berlin Kreuzberg including live-painting acts and the magazine launch of overspray-magazine based in new york.

Exhibited were over 200 pices of streetartist from around the world: Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.
We had artists present from France, Sweden, Schottland, Norway, Britan, New York, that came to berlin to suport the project and participate in the live painting acts.

In the team of 4 i organised this event with absolute minimal resources: As exhibition space we rented the top flors of a parking house central in berlin kreuzberg, chosen bc it seemed to fit well to the content of streetbased art. Flyers were printed but posters were painted individually by the artists present.
