It started with a scholarship from the Austrian Ministry of Art. I was supposed to work for six months at >The Kitchen<, a non-profit, multi-disciplinary avant-garde performance and experimental art facility at 512 West 19th Street. Soon, however, I began to get involved with >The Thing<, a net-community studio of artists and art-related projects founded by Wolfgang Staehle in 1991.
For both I realised mainly web projects together with other artists. Among many others, people and projects associated with thing.net have included Sawad Brooks, Heath Bunting, Cercle Ramo Nash, Vuk Cosic, Ricardo Dominguez, Ursula Endlicher, etoy, GH Hovagimyan, Jérôme Joy, John Klima, Jenny Marketou, Mariko Mori, Olivier Mosset, Prema Murty, Mark Napier, Joseph Nechvatal, Phil Niblock, Daniel Pflumm, Francesca da Rimini, Beat Streuli and Beth Stryker.
