I have no boundaries when it comes to the medium I choose to create with. I am interested in the intersection between technology and human flesh. I am interested in how the subject reacts, gets involved and merges. I have researched in this field for the last 30 years.I create sculptures, sculpture-paintings, digital paintings, robotic art, animations, installations and video art. What’s important to me is a look into the future. That’s why, at the age of 27 when I got my master degree in culture/gender studies, I invented the term 'DIVORG' – a dividing organism.Culturally speaking, the Divorg is the offspring of the cyborg, a concept that Donna Haraway examined in detail in her „Cyborg Manifesto“. The term 'cyborg' literally means 'cybernetic organism', i.e. a controlled organism. The Divorg, on the other hand, is a further development of the cyborg: a dividing organism. It is an organism that must keep moving in order to survive in today's fast-paced, information-rich world. This is precisely the interface that I explore with my art. I see technology as an opportunity to embrace the future with curiosity rather than fear.This is because we are no longer controlled by technology, but have merged with it — and so have our identities. Boundaries have washed away and identities have mixed. In this fast and information-rich world, we have to be able to divide in order to survive.We have to be DIVORGs —dividing organisms.
