  2. Pan Media Portraits 3: Uta Georgi: video, large stencil prints, web site

  3. PANmedia was an exhibition at Artinprogress Gallery Berlin, the main work was a PANmedia portrait of Ute Georgi, a newscaster at German 24-hour news station N24. The installation featured large-scale stencil prints, silde and video projection based on behind-the-scenes and broadcast images. Additionally, there was an online version of the installation.At this exhibition I also launched my Software Artwork ‘Random Browser’

  4. STEP-ON SKIN FOR A BAWDY WALKING RHYTHM was my first exhibition in Korea, at LOOP Gallery. In it, I covered the entire floor and one wall of the gallery in a surface of offset print patterns made from my own skin.

  5. THE AFRO 2nd edition (2004): 3000 bills in 3 denominations, security metal strip, individual serial number

  6. The AFRO project is a collaboration between myself and Mansour Ciss Kanakassy. We presented it at two Biennales (Dakar 2002, 2004) and at various locations in Europe. We also have a website for the project: http://www.deberlinsiation.de. The work involves limited series of ‘art-money’ distributed through a network of hand-made ‘mobile exchange offices’ distributed through the town. It is concept art which truly reaches and engages the average person in the street.

  7. MORE INFO ON AFRO The Afro is a what we call a social-art project. The target audience is the ordinary man and woman in the street. People who generally have very little idea about contemporary art. WHAT WE DO IS: We print up sets of individually numbered unique art-money bills in denominations of AFRO. 10 AFRO, 20 AFRO, etc. Next we build our Mobile Exchange Offices - small portable Kiosks that look like African Foreign Exchange Booths. The Afro is presented and exchanged there for local currencyNext we hire and train university students to present the AFRO in the 'Mobile Exchange office' During a typical implementation we will have 3 to 5 'Offices' operating at various important locations around town: Main museum, University, Central Plaza, Central Bank Building, Train Station, etc .The Interaction with the public is central to this work. Amazingly, many of our visitors actually purchase a bill or two of Afro because they believe in the concept. We have convinced them of the value of our Art, which is part of the challenge of the project. The message of the AFRO is essentially that Africa need's it's own currency, one who's value it can control. At the present time, African's still mostly use currencies who's value is set in Europe, most of african wealth and raw material are in 'Western'posession. 45+ years after colonialism, Africa is still being economically starved by the 'former colonial powers. The message of the Afro is one of a future Africa, self-dependent, prosperous and at peace. We instill this message into the imagery printed on the AFRO. The AFRO is a project under the umbrella of the Laboratoire Deberlinisation. A group of artists who work together toward a true emancipation of Africa from the colonial control which persists to this day since the Treaty of Berlin was signed dividing Africa into it’s contemporary nations in 1886

  8. The KCU is another public-action money project where I try to engage the average people with a sophisticated panMEDia approach. This one was launched at ILJU Art Center’s 2nd Anniversary Show and featured limited edition Art-money Bills, Television News reporting/propaganda, printed canvas money-bags and many live performances.

  9. (P)ornamental patterns repeat themselves all over the floor at the launch of FACTORY Gallery. Offset print patterns+ limited edition silk scarves and video.

  10. The STEPS was a special commission for the Gwangju Biennale Theme Park. Budget was about 200 000 dollars, I got about 1000 after expenses, don’t ask me where the money went, I have no idea. The steps were made out of FRP and are illuminated at night. The surface was also designed by me and measures about 250m2. The STEPS are very propular with the local neighbourhood people who love to go there and hang out after work.

  11. Pinked Galicia (2005) 120m2 cushion, 4 projectors, audio Prince Takamado Gallery, Embassy of Canada, Tokyo, Japan

  12. Biocentric – psycho-social – technosophical - poetics

  13. Patterns of my skin printed on canvas and stuffed with foam formed a 120m2 pillow in the Prince Takamado Gallery in the Canadian Embassy Tokyo. People took advantage of the cushy surface to take a break from balmy Tokyo days and watch some soothing, contemplative, somewhat haunting skin patterned video…

  14. Lightskin/Peau Claire 5 illuminated vibrating canvases, skin lamp with hair, public art intervention, performance

  15. PEAUCLAIRE/LIGHTSKIN is a recycling of my Tokyo skin pillows into vibrating skin lamps. I made 5 of these square illuminated ‘Lamps’ plus one special paper skin lamp with real hair. To accompany the exhibition I did some offset print pattern-postering in the city.
