The preparations for the upcoming exhibition in Chemnitz are on the way. A while ago, I presented my own 3D print of a 3D model I made a while ago. For the exhibition however, the print needed to be a little bit larger, in order for people to really see and touch. So they printed […]

It is in French (thank you very much for the translation!), but the catalogue is worth a look. On 287 pages you will find over 30 articles […]

Yesterday, I was at the LWL-Museum in Herne to install and check our animations for the exhibition. The preparations are already pretty advanced and the exhibition looks really good! Herne has a lot more space than Berlin had; the exhibition is actually taking up a whole hall. I had a very nice day in the […]
Here is a confession: If I go through an exhibition, I rather watch the exhibits than read their descriptions. To be precise: Most of the time, I don’t read any of the descriptions. This has something to do with the way I like to remember things, but mostly with the fact, that there is actually […]

While I was going through the exhibition, I was rather watching the people enjoying, than the exhibition itself. Of course, I have visited several times and had therefore eyes for […]
