This application automatically records the chosen radio station and broadcasts the recording 12 hours later. The recordings are deleted after five minutes, so with a delay of 12 hours and 5 minutes after their initial broadcastings. The exhibition space is located in a former laundry room. The speakers were placed direc-tly by the stairs leading downstairs. The programmed application can record and broadcast any digital radio station in the world with a delay.
Blütenzeitraubend, 2018Program for controlling frequency inverters in lift no. 10430763-1 (ZH01-02S), 17kB, ZHdK BA - Diploma exhibition, Zurich
Approximately 2800 people study and work at the Zu-rich University of the Arts. All departments are located within one large building. There are five elevators in order to move throughout the eight floors. The three most commonly used elevators are next to each other, in close proximity to the main entrance.The middle one of the three elevators is slowed down.The company Schindler developed a program for the work, which regulates the frequency converter in the elevator. Thanks to this program I was able to slow down the elevator by exactly 0,00m/s. The final veloci-ty of the middle elevator was adjusted to 5,57m/s and now needed 26 seconds to travel between to floors. The other two elevators were not adjusted and continu-ed to operate normally.Neither in front nor in the elevator was there any war-ning or indication of the workThe work was implemented one week ahead of the opening of the exhibition so students and personnel could discuss or warn each other about the elevator.The only indication of the work was placed in the exhi-bition spaces of the Department of Arts and Media via a regular sticker used to attribute works to the res-pective artists. Additionally, when people complained or pointed out something about the elevator to facility management, they were given a text by Christian Seiler titled „Das Perfekte Rührei“ [The perfect scrambled egg].There were no recordings made inside the elevator. The stories which developed within the setting should stay with the people who met inside it und experienced the work.People with claustrophobia were contacted in advance in order to estimate the risk, which the deceleration would cause so any harm to people could be avoided.

mathematischer momentSCHNIPPEN EINES FÜNFFRANKENSTÜCKS
Mixing water and corn starch results in a newtonian fluid. A quick application of force - for example walking over it quickly - results in the mixture reacting more firmly. A slower and more steady application of force - for example standing on it - result in a higher viscosity of the mixture. A small basin of the mixture was placed at the entrance.

Duftwandstreicher, 2017Installation, spruce batten with cold-wet cotton cloth 3.66x9.9m , Bone Festival 19, Bernvideo documentation
Installation:Two steel cables are installed at +/- 5.00m in the main room of the Schlachthaustheater in between the two smaller walls (main entrance and emergency exit by the fountain in the back). A roll carabiner is attached to both steel cables. The carabiners carry a woo-den slat (10m). Bevor the audience enters the room a cold, wet, black cotton fabric is hung from the slats. The fabric spans the entire width (10m) and height (5m) of the room. The fabric is then pulled over the audience with a cable pull to the main entrance. The installation remains placed by the main entrance.
Procedure:The audience returns to the theater from a guided performance. The audience is seated. In the moment in which the first people start wondering when the program will continue, the wet fabric is pulled over the audience in a slow and controlled manner. The wetness is surprising. The fabric ends at the other end of the room and the moderation of the work begins. The entire installation lasted for eight minutes.

Sturzteilnahme, 2016Installation, facing formwork made of Pavatexplatte (8.3m x 4.12m) on spruce slat, Stadtgalerie Bernvideo documentation
The audience is asked into the room and is seated. A lead-in moderation is performed. Nothing happens for six minutes, then the wall falls. It falls in viewing direction of the audience. The wall stops 1.2m over the heads of the front row.

A spruce slat was installed at the entrance to the location of a performance festival. People who wanted to see the performances had to move under the slat. The wooden slat was not firmly installed. The slat could have been demounted at any time. The lower edge of the slat was installed at 1.57m.

Neigungsgang, 2017Installation, three-layer panels on 7mx2.5m steel frame and two steel pedestals, Zurich University of the Artsvideo documentation
A rocker (600x198cm) was fitted to the hallway (7th floor, Toni-Areal, Zurich) with a width of 200cm. The hallway, lacking windows and doors, is not inviting for lingering and there-fore demands a occupation with one’s self. The rocker can be accessed from both sides and can support up to 18 people. The highest point of he rocker is at approximately 180cm.
