When and how did you decide to become an artist?
I was always oscillating between fine art, music, architecture, and engineering. I see those genres holistically not as separated fields. For me they are all different manifestations of my abstract, structural thinking. My educational and family background is in furniture making and interior design. I went to a polytechnic high-school specializing in that field. At the same time, and from an early childhood on, I had a very traditional training in classical music. In college I studied composition and electronic music which lead to a deep involvement in computer programming. Later on I employed computer animations and sound simultaneously very often in larger installation pieces. From 1993-95 I studied computer art at School of Visual Arts in New York with the support of a Fulbright Grant. The short answer to your question is probably that I knew from my early teens on that the very broad and amorphous filed of art gives me the most freedom to express my various, non-genre specific interests.
