World of Warcraft is one of the most iconic video games of all time. To reminisce about some of the great memories I have of its fictional world Azeroth, I decided to create a topographic map of it using my newly acquired Laser Cutter.

For me, The Last of Us is the best video game ever made. Together with its sequel, it tells the story of Ellie Williams and Joel Miller. Due to the amazingly written characters, it is one of the most immersive stories you can experience and one that you will probably remember for the rest of your life. That's why I decided to reflect on this story with two related artworks.

Between 2016 and 2018 I did a lot of drone photography. Capturing the world from perspectives humans normally don't experience is still fascinating to me to this day. In this post, I go through some of my favorite shots I have taken over the years.

When someone close to me was diagnosed with cancer, I thought back to my favorite poem “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” by Dylan Thomas. I then collected my favorite poems about death and turned them into an artwork.

An automatic Windows update ruined one of my artworks, so I decided to turn it into an homage to the iconic Windows update screen.

Recursion is a widely used concept in programming, but for many new programmers it is difficult to grasp. Visual aids can often help one to understand such concepts, and in the case of recursion, they also tend to look quite pleasing. Therefore, I decided to visualize the concept of recursion through a fractal tree.

I wanted to dive deeper into audio processing, so I gathered some of the most memorable voice lines from some of my favorite video games and wrote a software to visualized their waveforms in an artwork.

When I finished building my first CNC-machine, a plotter, I was looking for a simple project to test the machine and the software I had written to control it. At the time, I was playing a lot of Counter-Strike (CS). My favorite CS map has always been de_mirage. So I decided to visualize the map to validate my newly built plotter.
