Noch einmal Adam.




An exploration of what freetime really is when compared to every physical action of the day.

Filme und Statistik.








Das ist wunderbar. Anstatt mit Actions, Boobs und Emotions zu werben - nüchterne Statistik. UNd trotzdem funktionierts.
Ich bin Fan von Adam.

A series of film posters advertising a Quentin Tarantino Film Festival.
Each poster explores character interaction within scenes, displayed using a circular mapping system.

fast schon statistische Ästhetik.


Oder eigentlich ist es auch eine ästhetische Ästhetik.

Also. Hier geht es auch irgendwie um Statistik.




Und zwar um die, deines Mobilfunkverhaltens.
Man kann sich auf der Webseite von TODAY auch extra dafür ein Tool runterladen.
Bevor ich scheitere, den eigentlichen zwecvk meinerseits zu kläglich zu beschreiben, hier exzerptiere ich dann lieber:

TODAY is a piece of generative design for mobile phones.

It’s an application that visualizes personal mobile communication. It sits on the periphery of the machine, monitoring our connectivity through the number and type of calls we receive, subtly displaying them back to us, in the form of a generative graphic. Here, the visual result is a figurative and seemingly abstract picture – the story of your day. Some days will be really colourful and wired, others quieter and more reflective, either way the resulting visuals will always be personal, unrepeatable and unique.

What lies at TODAY’s core was the idea of using personal data as the basis for an aesthetic system, while providing individuals with a visual diary of their communication patterns.

It’s an intimate piece that ‘lives’ in your pocket.

It's freely distributed for Symbian phones.

Handgemachte Statistik










Artist Statement

This series is about the topography of money in human consciousness, the constant parade of numbers in everyday life. The figures are at once imaginary and very real. I’m interested in the power numbers have in our lives, and how much they dictate, both psychologically and actually.

These pieces were made with pigment, vintage paper and cotton thread on rice paper. The color palette is intentionally restricted to red and black: the colors of accounting. The work details the extent to which I think about finances, and uses the historically feminine crafts of sewing, collage and rubber stamping to penetrate and explore the traditionally masculine realm of business in our lives.
