At night on a wet, snowy street in central Berlin, a street musician stands centered beneath the illuminated TV Tower at Alexanderplatz. The performer wears a shiny silver jumpsuit, a helmet-like mask with two glowing turquoise round goggles and small antennae, and red sneakers. They play an electric guitar and a small keyboard mounted on a stand, with effect pedals and cables spread on the ground. Trams and cars pass on both sides, leaving bright light trails, while modern buildings and streetlights frame the scene under a dark, cloudy sky.

A performer in a silver, reflective suit plays electronic music at a table with a laptop and synthesizer. Their face is covered by a futuristic mask with glowing blue lenses, antennas, and visible wires. A small audience stands close behind, watching the live performance in a gallery space. Close-up of the performer wearing a cyberpunk-style mask with illuminated blue eyes and a metal mesh mouth. They are playing an electric guitar, fingers pressing the strings, with cables and small red LED lights attached to their suit and instrument. The performer stands over a compact keyboard synthesizer while holding an electric guitar. Both hands are active, one adjusting knobs, the other playing keys. The silver suit, exposed cables, and glowing elements emphasize a hybrid of music, technology, and performance art, with painted figures visible on the gallery wall behind. Stylized graphic illustration of a punk guitarist wearing a black gas mask with large round goggles glowing turquoise. Bright cables and connectors float around the figure. The person plays a futuristic electric guitar, and the word “+punk” appears prominently in bold turquoise text against a neon blue background.

📍 Palermo, Sicily
A close-up of a damaged Renaissance-style painting of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. Mary wears a deep red cloak and bends her head gently toward the sleeping child, who rests against her bare chest with eyes closed and relaxed hands. Large sections of paint are missing from Mary’s face and hair, revealing rough brown wooden panel beneath, with cracks and peeling clearly visible. The child’s skin appears smooth and intact, sharply contrasting with the deterioration of Mary’s face. At the bottom, on a wooden surface, lie a small apple and a red berry, symbols of Christian theology. The background is dark, emphasizing both the figures and the visible damage to the painting. A close-up of a heavily worn Renaissance-style painting depicting the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. Mary is shown seated, wearing a red dress with a dark belt, her head gently tilted downward as she looks toward the child. The infant Jesus sits nude beside her, turning his head upward to meet her gaze. The painted surface is extensively damaged, with flaking paint, cracks, abrasions, and exposed underlayers visible across the entire image. The background is a muted green, mottled by age and loss, giving the scene a rough, fragmented texture that contrasts with the soft expressions of Mary and the child. A close-up of a worn medieval or early Renaissance painting showing the Virgin Mary breastfeeding the infant Jesus. Both figures have golden halos. Mary tilts her head gently toward the child, her face calm and pale, framed by a light veil with traces of gold. The infant Jesus looks up at her while nursing and holds a small bird in one hand. Mary’s arms support the child across her lap, and both figures wear garments in muted red, blue, and gold tones. The painted surface is heavily aged, with dense crackling, flaking paint, and areas of loss throughout, revealing the rough texture of the underlying panel. The background is plain and weathered, emphasizing the intimacy of the scene and the painting’s fragile condition. A square street-art poster pasted on a rough beige wall with blue graffiti marks. It shows a stylized woman from the chest up, raising her right fist in a gesture of resistance or protest. Her face and arm are rendered in bold, graphic blocks of blue, green, and beige, with dark outlines. She wears a red garment, and behind her head is a red circular halo surrounded by black rays with yellow accents, resembling a revolutionary or icon-like sunburst. The overall style mixes political poster art and religious iconography, with weathering and water stains visible on the surface.

A stylized, neon-lit illustration of a person playing an electric guitar, wearing a black gas mask with glowing turquoise lenses and chrome details. The figure has bright turquoise hair, a shiny black jacket, and holds a futuristic guitar with a pink control panel. Various audio and power cables float around them against a blue, tech-inspired background. The word “+punk” appears in bold turquoise text.

Instead of listing my successes in 2025, such as exhibitions, presentations, talks, books, and other events, I proudly present my three greatest failures from last year:

– I didn't receive a single award or grant.

– None of the newspapers, magazines, or online platforms I'd actually want to

An adult person stands facing the camera against a plain white wall. They are shirtless, wearing light-colored shorts, black gloves, and black lace-up combat boots. Their hands are clasped in front of their lower abdomen. The person wears a black helmet with two short antenna-like rods on top, reflective turquoise goggles, and a black gas mask covering the entire lower face. The posture is upright and symmetrical, with legs slightly apart, creating a stark, stylized, and somewhat dystopian appearance. An adult person stands facing the camera against a plain white wall.

A beige, old-style CRT computer monitor shown at a slight angle against a solid black background. The bulky casing and curved glass screen emphasize its vintage design. On the screen, bright orange text reads: It's now safe to turn off your computer. Several physical control buttons are visible below the screen, reinforcing the retro technology aesthetic.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂
A winter mountain landscape seen through low-hanging evergreen branches heavy with fresh snow. The foreground is a smooth, white snowfield with a few thin twigs poking through. Frosted conifer branches frame the top and sides like a natural arch. In the distance, beyond the trees, a wide valley stretches out with rolling hills, forests, and pale patches of fields under a cloudy winter sky. A dense network of tree branches completely coated in thick white frost and snow fills most of the frame. The branches hang downward in long, lace-like shapes. In the background, partially obscured by the frozen branches, are ski-lift structures, including tall dark poles and a red chairlift cabin suspended on a cable. The ground below is covered in deep, untouched snow, creating a quiet, cold alpine scene.

🛣️🏠4🎄
Nighttime highway scene photographed with long exposure. In the foreground, a multilane road curves slightly to the right, with continuous red and yellow light trails from passing cars. White roadside posts with black tops line the right side of the road, receding into the distance. Above the road, several large blue German autobahn direction signs are mounted on metal gantries. The signs are repeated multiple times, layered and slightly offset, creating a visual echo effect. The main readable text, split across multiple signs, reads: "Die Philosophen haben die Welt nur verschieden interpretiert es kommt aber darauf an sie zu verändern." The sentence is broken across panels, with the words appearing on different signs. White upward-pointing arrows indicate straight-ahead directions. The overall color palette is dominated by blue signs and vivid red and yellow light trails on the road. The image has a surreal, layered look due to the repeated signage and motion blur.

Black background with bright cyan, neon-like characters arranged horizontally near the bottom of the image. The characters look like a mix of letters, symbols, and diacritics, including umlauts and accents, forming an abstract, almost code-like sequence rather than readable words: ï¬fÖY+*tŕ۵°. Under parts of the cyan text are red, wavy underline marks, similar to spellcheck warnings in a text editor. On the far right, a thin vertical cyan cursor line suggests active text input or editing.

A bright red upholstered sofa sits against a white wall beneath a large framed screen. The screen shows a graphic reading “EAST UN BLOC” in blocky, pixel-like letters, alongside color bars and grid patterns resembling a digital test image. The floor is dark and textured, and the scene feels like a gallery lounge area. A small humanoid robot made of exposed electronic parts stands on a white pedestal. Behind it, several white shadow-box frames hang on a gray wall, each containing neatly arranged electronic components such as circuit boards, lenses, and floppy disks. Focused spotlights create strong shadows, emphasizing the objects as artworks. A gray gallery wall displays multiple white-framed shadow boxes arranged in an irregular grid. Inside each frame are disassembled electronic devices, including circuit boards, phone components, floppy disks, and small mechanical parts, carefully spaced on white backgrounds under gallery lighting. A close-up of a wall label mounted on a textured white wall. The label reads: “Igor Štromajer, 101.72 MB, SI 1996–2007, 2024. Sieben gerahmte elektrische Maschinen, ein Roboter / seven framed electric machines, one robot.”

The atmosphere was fantastic and the conversation flowed easily. Sakrowski and I had a great time, and it was clear the audience wasn't suffering too much either (ツ)
Two men stand at a small table in front of a green screen. One of them wears a white headpiece with antennas and large round blue-lensed goggles while working on a laptop covered with cables and small devices. The other man, wearing a gray beanie and glasses, watches him. Microphones, tripods, and a camera surround them. An audience sits facing two men on a small stage in front of a green screen. One man wears a headpiece with antennas and blue-lensed goggles while speaking at a laptop. The other man stands beside him. Several audience members are filming or taking photos. Cables, monitors, and cameras fill the foreground. A person lies on green cushions near the front. A man wearing a white headpiece with antennas and blue-lensed goggles stands in front of a projected website page showing a photo of small robots. He stands with his arms slightly out, as if presenting. The room has a green screen backdrop and cables on the floor. Two men stand at a small table in front of a green screen.

A bright red screen designed to look like an old computer virus interface. Lines of fake command-prompt code fill the left side, while the right side shows a box labeled 'loading virus...' with a red progress bar stuck at 25 percent. The word 'activated' appears in red below the progress bar. A red-tinted graphic showing a hand pressing a button labeled IT HURTS on a retro control panel. To the right are white input fields labeled 'life', 'death', 'sensitiveness', 'anxiety', and 'fear', each with a small 'control me' button next to it. A grid of gray sliders and scrollbars arranged in two rows on a gray background. Each block shows different positions of sliding controls, resembling a technical interface or UI elements without any text. Two black Sony Ericsson feature phones side by side.
