The ‘Bye Bye Camera’ app is the camera for the post-human era. Every photo people take automatically removes any person. The ‘Never Not There’ app virtually transformed the ZKM museum in Karlsruhe, Germany, into a new space for visitors to explore, and the ‘LongARcat’ app creates long AR cats.
In 2018, he co-founded ‘MoMAR’, an AR gallery app that aims to democratize physical exhibition spaces, art institutions, and curatorial processes at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. WIRED covered the launch with the headline “Augmented Reality Is Transforming Museums.” In 2017, he created an online space that only programs can access. This software performance, called ‘Uninvited Humans’, first made it to the front page of Reddit before being shown at the König Galerie in Berlin, Germany.
His work has appeared internationally, including exhibitions at ZKM Karlsruhe, NRW-Forum, Postmasters, König Galerie, Roehrs & Boetsch, Pioneer Works.
