Born in Frankfurt-Area, being a very first hour vvvv-"Dinosaur" and former Fraunhofer-Student..
focused in many natural NUI-/AR-Devices ( touch + non.. ) in love with prototyping Environments,
then after leaving Wiesbaden ( Germany ) now living at supergreen south east "Seaside" of Berlin..
While using vvvv since the first public Release Version 3.1 / early 2002, as an former A.i.R. @ MESO
in Frankfurt, and later importing a NY based "Share"-Movement as an early "OpenSource"-Activist..
back to Europe, as one of the first Global Nodes in Wiesbaden, my Tribute to the most important, but
forgotten History around Nam June Paik, before he was leaving this former Hotspot of Art & Activism,
since the early 60ies.

Developing many own prototyped "Theremin"-Devices.. for Vjing since 1998 within 30-40 vvvvSetups
/ 2004-2010 supporting as Co-founder of the OpenSource "SHARE GLOBAL" NETWORK ( from NYC )
for LIVE Improvisation and audiovisual Performances, as the 2nd node of then 30 cities worldwide..
in peaktime, made for impro Musicians and performing their selfmade Hard- & Software Controllers
from many DIY-Artworkers, at our "New Media" Jazz Environment, while presenting their interactive,
cross media devices & software projects.. etc.

www.Share.dj was one of the earliest, leading "OpenSource-Communities" like the CCC.

Now, after being "offline" for a while.. ( followed by a very dark depression )
i am preparing my own forthcoming Studio, for later "work in progress" ( again )

• Cofounder of SHARE GLOBAL = Global Network Community ( 2004 - 2010 )

WIESBADEN = https://vimeo.com/user646965/videos ( lowres. )

former Sub-Website: friends-of-tracking-data(.org) now offline.. ( SOLD )

the Tools we´ve mainly supported in our weekly/monthly "featured Projects"
& audiovisual "realworld" Jam/Sessions for djs/musicians and visual artists..
were VVVV.. / MaxMSP / MODUL 8 / RESOLUME / PURE DATA / ABLETON LIVE ( i.e.)
and many other diy-/hardware/developers..

• The origin "Mother"- Project was founded 2001 in New York City by Barry Manalog,

Daniel Smith and GeoffGDAM. / SHARE GLOBAL = http://www.share.dj/global/ ( offline )

alike inspired by the early VVVV-Community & the great NY-Share People,
my Intention - first to say - was focused in different levels, into "to share"
of my doings in Wiesbaden, bringing home that "Sons of Paik & FluXus..",
now 50 Years later, may call it re-booted in "FluXustown" as my own Tribute
to Nam June Paik ( and his GlobalGroove 1971-1974 ) while he was a Pioneer
of the Videoart ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nam_June_Paik ) and an early
member of FluXus 1962, together with Maciunas, Cage and others ..

FluXus = was the first international Community, for artists ..
after that 1964 Maciunas moved to New York City..

• 2nd level: let´s call it &quotOpen Source"..

"SHARE" was one of the earliest & most important "Open Source-Communities" worldwide
( founded 2001 ) as an early example before CreativeCommons.org ( i.e. CTM 2007 )
as one of the early OpenNetworks talking about "to open" Copyrights and using
Realtime Video*. Now we´re often invited to talk about us + Creative Commons
( i.e. MIT, in Boston / March 2007 or CTM, Clubtransmediale 2007 / Geneva .. )

Further Information, read = http://www.share.dj/global/diy ( offline )

• Today, it´s funny to see the "share"-button @ Youtube, Vimeo and others ..

Youtube then was founded later, in feb. 2005..
;(

• SHARE was an organization dedicated to supporting collaboration and knowledge exchange in new media communities. Local SHARE groups hold free, open jams and workshops in their communities. Participants bring their portable equipment, plug into our system, improvise on each others' signal and perform live audio and video. SHARE GLOBAL happens weekly to monthly in now over 30 cities around the world..

SHARE WIESBADEN was the 2nd - 3rd Node on worldmap 2004 - 2010..

/within i´ve organized 2 Festivals for my Tribute to Nam June Paik, FluXus & the Roots of Media Art ..

2008 physically prototyping an iBar for MINDSTORM ( London / UK )

Mindstorm >>> the interface revolution.. ( 2008! )

• this Prototype i´ve setup the technical part to build up a first demo of an 14m iBar ..

( Client: Lucien Barriere / PARIS )

• Mindstorm was/is the world's foremost interactive surface company,

known for its focus on quality, innovation and leading-edge technology.

This award-winning software company that helps you do more
with surfaces than you ever thought possible. Across surfaces,
industries and across the globe, Mindstorm transforms otherwise
static surfaces into intelligent displays, and passive customers
into active participants. "..

• One of my favorite projects 1:1:1 ( Theremin Device 01/2005 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1508156 ( lowres. )

• This "Theremin"- Prototype is my "Hommage to the Technics MKII " ( Vinyl-Device )

and it`s made to play the different levels of the '4Channel mp3player' H²O-Remote
with the given vvvvj-patch inside ( 4 mp3s + the Visual together.. )

instead of using finalScratch, midi-controller, toggles etc.
using different levels of the users body-Resistance* ( 9V )

about the title: 1|1|1 spoken: one one one ( means 1:1:1 )
//////////// 1 CHN for audio,
/////////// 1 for the graphics
////////// 1 for the bodyfeeling: in Volt ( 9V )

The Claim: what you hear, is what you see, is what you feel ! ..
synced as 1 | intouch with data ! ( as liquid* data )

Controller: the Body Resistance ( User )
Audio: 3-4 levels together ( Sounddesign: i.e Noise )
Software: VVVV / ( )

• the next project was called: " 4T Cam" ( 2004 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1452925 ( lowres. )

• this Prototype was a handmade Camera, whith a built-in "Color-analysing-System" ( vvvv, without fft )

The Camera ( 4T_ / my Tribute to Tamás Waliczky* ) is an own physical device camera concept, fixed on the body of an 80's Polaroid, combined with a small sized Highres WebCam, a laserpointer & display for the Orientation and a FLOCK OF BIRDS as the physical motiontracker mapped to an early vvvv patch for analysing colors in front of the Camera, to transform the wireframes, fft-synced to the given music of SOLVENT .. / to remote the ( handmade! ) '3D VISUAL' in Realtime via the real space flight over each color of the environment, focused at the patched server cables ..

/*for my former Professor Tamás Waliczky ( from ZKM / http://www.waliczky.com/ )
i was prototyping, this early camera concept, as my so called "Tapedtrashtrackingtool.." aka: 4T.

• this project was called: "play_Jelly" ( 2004 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1452741 ( lowres. )
play_Jelly ( 2004 ) is a 3 level "Particle System" ( with 20.000 Quads )
using an IR-frame( xy )plus an Upgrade ( z-depth ) in the
middle..

This Project was focused in a kind of my first touchless Interface,
as an interactive musicvideo, using an IR-Controller ( ELO TOUCH ),
modified with another z-depth in the centre of the frame,
to navigate the Particle System >WITHOUT< touching ..

Controller: IR-/ Infrared Device xyz-depth )
Audio: http://lastfm.de/music/Jan+Jelinek
Software: VVVV / ( )

1rst audiolevel was mapped for the watermove.. fft )
2nd audiolevel was mapped to the jellyfisch.. fft )
3rd input ( IR-Touchframe ) mapped to xyz-depth ..

• the next project was called: " WireworldCam" ( 2003 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1453055 ( lowres. )

• This Project was a handmade musicvideo, while using the Movement

of my physical "Gamepad" ( sitting infront of my "3D-Television Setup" )
live recorded to an early DVD-Recording Hardware.

Note: every movement was added to another, plus toggles..
( further and further, for getting a real chaotic "Dynamic System".. )
1rst level = mapped to the toggles.. ( GamePad ) 2nd level = mapped to physical moves.. ( xyz-depth ) 3rd input = mapped to frequency/of music.. ( improvised + fft )

The 4th input was mapped to maintoggle Start: Logo Animation )
Presentation = using GamePad for "VisualMusic" ( 2003 )
Idea = love watching clouds in the Sky ( as "cloud pictures" )

Controller: Microsoft Sidewinder Game Pad ( Gamepad )
Audio: http://lastfm.de/music/Autechre
Software: VVVV / ( )

• the improvvvvvvv~.. = &quot VVVV Live Patching " ( 2002 - 2004 )

VIDEO = http://vimeo.com/4676581 ( CTM 2004, Berlin / fft + lowres. )
DemoReel 2001-2004 = http://www.vimeo.com/1490997 ( 31x vvvvvvv~.. / lowres. )

• This conceptual Discipline was made to create improvised and draft Visuals, while the Dj is playing

his music, as a real spontaneous & impulsively music visualisation to increase my own Graphics, myself..
instead of the typical Problem at the "Picture+Sound-Synergy" Visual Artists allways trying to find the
perfect Sync only inside of the "Beatcount" as cold as clean that Visuals, electronic Music, CGI and /or
narrative "Character Animations" won´t make it better.

Long time ago ( vvvv without fft ) i was in love with some tracks i´ve looped as possible,
after hours testing each patch, with another music hours again, then changing, again & again..
for getting the right feeling about, balancing dynamic, speed or the color mood as open as possible,
then having "the Goal" for each Viewer he´s getting his own "Point of View" watching each selective
focused Element of the Graphics "headsynced" to the Non-Realtime Music ( outside of the recorded DVD ).

Suggestion: please having a &quot VVVV Live Patching Award" at Node2010 ( without fft, presets.. )
Software: VVVV / starting with the grey window( )

• the next "bigger project" was former called.. GENTV

GENTV = &quot Generative Network Television " ( 2004 - 2006 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1503941 ( lowres. )

• This Prototype was made to create an augmented( AR-)Television Setup,

later having the first realtime "Interactive Television" @ my University,
as an earlyBird( again ) my former Professors don´t understood this,
long time before Youtube was starting, we could have a Realtime System
for our 1.4 Mio.EUR "Virtual Studio"( http://www.orad.co.il/ ) instead of using that
antiquated Non-Realtime "3D-MAX"( ORAD gave us ! ) together with an "own"
and "IP-based" Content Management Tool, collecting the 2D/3D-Animations
of our Students, they´ve made each Semester ..

( for that, i´ve create the Claim: "GENTV is made to reboot MTV "..

While my first Study: GENTV = &quot Generative Network Television " ( 01 / 2004 )

• calling it IPTV/Vj-Channel but my Professors ignored this idea ) for that i was already collecting ..

and have even recorded over around 70-80 Clips ( each 3-4 min.) for the first "IPTV-Server" i´ve build,
like Festival Documentations, Installations & Vj-Reels, streamed over a second level, using that both early
Real- & Apple-Broadcaster ( installed on different PCs, included a first "OnDemand" for mobile Devices.. )

Motion Tracker: "ORAD-Technology "( http://www.orad.co.il/ )
++ FLOCK OF BIRDS ( http://www.ascension-tech.com/products/flockofbirds.php )

Streaming: Real Media PC ) / Apple Broadcaster MAC )
Software: VVVV IP-Server + OnAirDesign ) / 3D-MAX / MAYA / After Effects, ..
Set Design: 3D-Realtime, with "Chat over Video" ( while: IPTV-Streaming )
Status: offline ( Since November 2006 )
