I am a cross media artist, working mainly in the field of photography, video, design and new media. Combining media and also the combination of art and (scientific) research plays an important role in my work. Often my work is conceptually dealing with our viewing habits and the effect of images on our daily life. I am interested in how we perceive images, how our media culture influence the way we look at things and where the limits of our perception are.
