All you can eat
Wealth distribution statistics are very abstract for most people. All you can eat is intended to give people a playful and more intuitive access to such facts. Furthermore, the work should make it tangible that small advantages at the beginning can be more important than constant hard work. All you can eat achieves this in the form of an interactive game for 2-8 people with minimalistic design and few simple rules. A positive feedback-loop ensures an unbalanced outcome. As such, this deep space 8K installation quickly brings out feelings of superiority as well as frustration. The outcome is compared to real wealth statistics. Multiple runs with varying intensity of the positive feedback-loop offers opportunities to reflect on one’s own point of view.

AD-Conversion of an AD-Converter
A blank sheet of paper is often the beginning of creative work . In a first step, a sketch is made and afterwards, a precise plan is developed. Before the actual manufacturing happens, the plan is transformed into a model, allowing working on details. The first three stages of this process can be digitized, using an analog-digital converter (ADC). The manufacturing is based on the reverse operation, namely the digital-analog conversion, which can be digitally simulated. Computers provide simple ways for automation of processes. What happens if the process of the development of an analog digital converter itself is digitized and automated? The video "AD-Conversion of an AD-Converter" shows the result - a recursive process in which a machine produces identical new instances of itself again and again. Sounddesign by Thomas Stiermaier
