After graduating from Art University I co- managed the Ars Electronica Futurelab before I headed for two years to New York. As teacher for new media I was engaged at Tisch School NYC, FH Salzburg and Art University Linz. After the birth of my kids I concentrated on exhibition design and founded as chief-editor the art magazine XING. In my szenografic projects I got more and more involved with historical themes around National Sozialism. So I realized in recent years exhibitions in a KZ Memorial site and in state museums in Austria. Coming to Japan a couple of times I started to compare history of Japan and Germany/ Austria and the design of remembrance of this history in each museums.
