I was mainly interested in photography for years until I finally started studying Fine Art Photography at Glasgow School of Art. I then soon found my interest in new media. I have now completed my studies and am probing my way further into electronic media in art.My work evolves around an exploration of the impact of contemporary technological developments on our attitude towards the self, body, and our notion of reality.I try not to coo over the hype of new technology und use a variety of media for my investigations. Interactivity (in a broad sense) offers immersion and control and throws up a host of intriguing questions about the responsibility of actions in games, the physicality of virtual worlds, and the social implications for participants in multiplayer environments.Players in „massive multiplayer online roleplaying games“ interact with their own chosen avatars as well as with other in-game characters (whether backed up by the programme itself or another player). New technologies, especially the advent of the internet, have also transfigured the availability of information and visual imagery of even the most painful and exhibitionistic (re)presentations of the human body.
