Life
[edit]After completing his apprenticeship as a locksmith and studying communication science, he worked for 10 years as a freelance and employed journalist for television stations in Germany and abroad.
Berlin-Friedrichshain is his home.
In addition to his intensive photographic and documentary work, he founded the artist group Lichtpiraten in Berlin in 2006. The artistic focus of the group is the design of light installations and projections for light festivals, clubs and events. The pirates of light are official ambassadors of the city of Berlin and part of the campaign "be Berlin" and represent them worldwide in a "good light". Today, they are loosely connected with a wide variety of artists and have realized and documented hundreds of video installations in twenty countries on four continents.
In 2008 he founded Biostructure GmbH to co-ordinate and handle the cooperation of over 30 partners worldwide. A milestone of the company was the development of open source software OMNIDOME[1], which is currently used worldwide in projection technology. This offers the possibility to project a video without consumption on a three-dimensional body.[2] The software makes it possible to achieve a result with conventional computer technology, which was previously achieved only with special hardware and profound software knowledge.
