The video sound installation "a smell rises" is an artistic comment to the historical and social context of the music automaton collection of the KMM museum in Dürnten(ZH). Central is a transformation of the way of encounter. The period of origin of the music automatons is marked by the first industrial revolution. That time conceded  the power over other people and technical achievements to a small privileged class. In addition, concepts such as productivity and mass consumption come to the fore. "A smell rises"  responds to this by suggesting a contemplative and empathetic encounter with the automata and blends the boundaries between machine and human.

voice performance on imagination and digitalization. 
The spoken Morse code translation of an Ada Lovelace quote about imagination addresses the power and fragility of codes and conventions. It further highlights the imaginative possibilities that open up through recoding and transformation. A standardized code, generated by strict rules and high standards, is interpreted and subjectivized by a human voice. This opens up new associations and, above all, an intimacy that lives precisely from the imperfection and the resonating sensitivities.
