Space Tme refers to several related phenomena where a clock does not run at the exact right speed compared to another clock. That is, aftersome time the clock “drifts apart” or gradually desynchronizes from the other clock. Everyday clocks such as wristwatches have finite precision. Eventually they require correction to remain accurate. The rate of…
The Dijkstra algorithm solves the single-source shortest path problem.For a given source node in the graph, the algorithm finds the shortest path between that node and every other. It can also be used for finding the shortest paths from a single node to a single destination node by stopping the algorithm once the shortest path…
Enactments of social media content These hypothetical machines are present but not quite legible. They exist in a state of potentiality. They are informed by the digital even when not in digital format, they are shaped by a sense of data excess and data vulnerability. They are about thought-experiments and speculative enactements. Things Are Not…
One year long every day a new video with animatronics and postings tagged with #me. identity construction through social media #me mimicks the conditions of social media. This work does not answer the multiplicity of identities, but takes up everything in its infinite soliloquy. Animatronics recite content from social network platforms, hinting at the role…

Wherever electric current exists, magnetic field is also induced. This means that plants as all living organisms, which utilise electric current in their biology emit weak electromagnetic fields. This installation makes use of a noncontact method for measuring electric fields for the sonification of the plants. I hear the buzz of the little world among…
Wind Park Drone is about the sound of wind turbines and guided tours to discover the versatile and interesting sounds. A lot of people are bothered by the sounds of wind turbines. They long for silence – only when they get it they perceive it as oppressive. The Camera Silens (lat. silent room) shows…
A multimedia opera with robots and overheard mobile conversations in four acts. “I’m sitting in the train. Where are you?” Everyone has a mobile phone these days and what was once a conversation in closed rooms is nowadays happening in the public sphere. The mindless phone monologues in busses and trains have irritated the German…
Karl Heinz Jeron collects carelessly discarded objects while walking through the city. With minimal electronic circuits he makes these objects sound. He has been inspired by the text Supernatural Apparitions and Domestic Life in Japan by Kazuhiko Komatsu.There he describes the concept of Ushirometasa. “Although it has largely been forgotten since disposability became…
Workshop and participatory installation with DIY audio devices. The circuits are powered and controlled by fruits and vegetables. The participatory and exciting installation of media artist Karl Heinz Jeron draws attention to a further aspect of our dealing with resources: In supermarkets and markets, the artist asks for overripe fruit and vegetables that are usually…
uf der Themse mit seiner zweiten Suite den König entzückte. „Our Haendel“, wie die Engländer ihren damaligen Lieblingskomponisten nannten, hatte einen weiteren Hit gelandet. Auf den Elton John des Barock war Verlass. Bericht der „Daily Courant“ vom 19. Juli 1717: „Am Mittwoch abend, ungefähr um acht, begab sich der König in einem offenen Schiff…
‘Will Work For Food’ is about labour and barter economy. Small robotic vehicles trade their manpower for food. The vehicles can draw and whistle the popular songs ‘Happy Birthday’ and ‘The Internationale’. People can borrow one of the vehicles and let them work for them. After completing the assignment the vehicles have to be…
Horde is an installation, a sculptural object and a technical network. Dozens of vehicles are moving autonomously and erratically on a white, shiny platform. Each vehicle maunders, i.e. vocalises fragments of various specialised texts on information, disinformation and information retrieval. The aim of Horde is to illustrate the chaos of the modern media-generated overload of…
Small robots as actors enact court TV as an absurd theatre. The installation poses the question how the re-telling of the stories, which are enacted in the fictional worlds of television, changes our perception of them. The installation attempts a critique of the idealized self-conception of talk shows in the afternoon TV program and in…
