My colloborator Andre Stubbe and me took our robot, Outerspace, through a long process of enhancement. After an extensive reconstruction with 3D modelling software, the new hinges were made from Delrin with a state-of-the-art 5-achsis CNC machine.

From 1 May 2007, the new improved Outerspace will be part of the permanent exhibition at the Museum of the Future, part of the Ars Electronica Center, Linz, Austria.

You can interact with the robot in the RoboLab on the first floor. It is part of the theme field “With all Senses”. The new location of the Ars Electronica Center in Graben 15 in the heart Linz town, Austria. The opening week starts on May 16, 2007.

Another chapter in life is over. I just finished my degree in the Digital Media Class of Prof. Joachim Sauter after studying at Berlin University of the Arts for five years.

The picture shows the final prototype. An extensive project documentation will be produced during the next months. Stay tuned.

Outerspace is the Winner in the category “Interactive Installations and TV” and the “Overall Winner” of the EUROPRIX Top Talent Award 2006 in Vienna. Thank you!

I just got back from my frist trip to India. I had only two weeks – a very intense, exciting experience.
I was great to see so many of the German national birds, the eagle, mingle in India. This picture was taken just by the road from Bangalore to Mysore. I posted many pictures from my first trip to India on Flickr.

www.norwichtextiles.org.uk just went live. It’s a comprehensive website about textile culture, art and technology in the City of Norwich (East England). It features an extensive history section, interactive textile trails, educative resources, visitor information and an online image database.

It was designed and developed at Studio Bec by Gero Grundmann and Markus Lerner for Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service and Norfolk School of Art and Design.
