CYAN

1995-2000 - After a career as a punk musician and drug excesses and after over 3 years daily practise in Buddhist Vipassana meditation the work group CYAN was created.
"The experience in meditation led to new insights in self-perception and with it a new access to music and painting opened up to me. The space of the I's received its implementation in the infinite surface of a blurred dot grid. On this order float large and small sharply outlined points. With simple arrangements they can mean again and again new. Once they have their origin in the loudspeaker, once in the positions On and Off ... The sound of the music as a direct transmission of a sensation served as a creative means and let arise further worlds of forms beyond the point. While playing music, the guitar effect devices served to formulate a thought or a state.
SEARCH represents the outlines of Super Stars. With the REMOTE CONTROL they can be operated. The image LES DEMOISELLES DIGITALISME was my first premonition of the coming digitization of everything human."
