山 [systemrelevant] and 山 [cloud] are 2 artworks interplaying with nature and technology. The grandeur of the towering, icy-blue mountains, painted with fluid brush strokes, contrasts dramatically with the intricate, geometric patterns of the “electronic embroidery” below.

The vast, open sky creates an expansive backdrop for the mountainous scene, and the shimmering silver texture of the sky adds depth and appears like a cosmic galaxy, heightening the sense of space. A space for mindful reflection. The electronic cityscape, with its detailed circuitry and hardware components, rests at the base, representing a foundation built upon technology. Yet, it’s the mountains that dominate, suggesting nature’s enduring presence despite technological advancement.

These pieces convey a message about the juxtaposition of the organic and digital worlds, and how they can coexist in harmony, telling a tale of two contrasting realms united in a single frame.

Using recycled keyboard components to spell out words is a concept, emphasizing the ever-present role of technology in our lives.

The terms “systemrelevant” and “cloud” are both deeply connected to our digital age:

Systemrelevant (german): This term, which translates to “systemically important” or “essential to the system”, suggests something that is crucial for the functioning of a larger entity.

Cloud: The cloud has revolutionized how we store, share, and access information. It represents a shift from localized, tangible storage to decentralized, intangible storage.

Using physical keyboard components to represent “cloud” creates a juxtaposition between the tangible and intangible, the old and the new, emphasizing the transition from physical to digital realms.
