Memory
The construction of memories, the structuring, the loss of them, the failed reconstruction and the disappearance. Analog and digital work

Experimental typographic work
In stone
Sculpture and typography project made in talc stone, extracting or cleaning its natural forms and allowing the text to be carved in it.
Haptic
The hand – is the first writing tool. History is recorded there, it is the trace of the personal journey. In it, words are articulated that form a rhizomatic cartography, without a particular center. The texts have to do directly with experience, subjectivity, with the creation process from analog to digital

Album of affections
The business card, visiting card or carte de visite, has been a memory object. Many of them preserved in another object, the album. This project takes up the essence of these two objects, as containers of memories, in this case of my affections, reflected in some people
nearby, other passengers, passers-by, who become part of the space; natural elements and the architecture of oblivion.The cover takes up the idea of a frame. one frame over another

Several elements intervene in the subjectivity of language, it is not born spontaneously from the subject,
It is mediated by society, by culture, by biological aspects, by the mass media. It is there where the rhetoric using resources discursive and metaphorical, persuades and takes special force. Always the messages are endowed with signs that connote and denote the linguistic message it can also be iconic and endowed with countless meanings. In reading, the perceptive message -cultural- and the literal message -message support-. This book could fit into many of the typologies of an artist’s book, it is writing, accumulation, tactile… It is also a book under construction.
&c.
Entering the book, devoid of its format, being able to feel it and explore its possibilities in an exponential way, smell it, hear it. Open book, complete, without content and order restrictions, to read in as many ways as you like. Paper, the base material, a sensitive substrate, which allows the contents printed on it to be endowed with meaning. Papers arranged in two ways, eighty-eight hanging, imply looking towards. On the floor, shredded paper, documents are recycled,drafts, sketches, processes. The numbering of the pages is detached from above, hangs, and is placed interchangeably. Letters as plastic support
Technorealism
With each passing day, computer systems are becoming increasingly organic and integrated seamlessly into our lives and the natural world. These machines, which were once seen as cold and rational, are now capable of imitating touch, emotions, and thought. Despite being made of inanimate matter, they are capable of imagining worlds that seem just as real as ours.
I went on a mission to create a typeface, bold yet whimsical, playful yet structured. created only in a digital space. The vector files are put through a custom CAD process, rendering them in an organic skeleton and metallic material. An imitation of reality made visible through computer envisioned light ray bounces.

COMPUTER GEDICHTE [computer poems]
What is poetry without emotion?
Can a computer write a poem?
Nine works from the history of computer poetry have been reinterpreted, translated into code, and given to a computer. These form the basis for nine poems that are generated by the computer with the help of three random words.
By entering new words, this process can be repeated infinitely. In this way, new poems are created; in between poetry and code, in between language and calculation, in between human and computer.
An appendix provides information on the definition, inspiration, information and construction of the poems.

Royal Chambers
In Royal Chambers, Wang & Söderström investigate our relationship to the term home in a rapidly changing phygital world. The book presents exhibited works, processes, AR elements and essays from five contributors that unfold the idea of home as a multifaceted ecosystem. The ecology of technology, calls for speculative perspectives. Royal Chambers posits an expanded idea of home, of care and connection from micro to macro, to shine light on a more integrated, nuanced notion of life and living.

Hong Kong — Story of the riots
Our art book “Hong Kong — Story of the riots” tells the stories of former students of the MOME, who experienced the events of the 2019 Hong Kong protests firsthand. The book combines objective descriptions of the demonstrations with the subjective experiences of the three artists, with Gábor Bácsfai’s powerful photos. Each chapter is named and illustrated after a Cantonese proverb, and the book includes augmented reality content that brings the events to life. Our book has also been supplemented with uniquely designed typographic and graphic elements. This mixed, multidisciplinary work of art offers a unique perspective on the protests, and try capturing the atmosphere of the events up close
Mehr oder weniger – Stilhöhen in der Gestaltung
The master’s thesis examines the relationship between design intensity and the success of a graphic artifact and thus takes up the challenge of a quantitative measurability of design.
For this purpose, parallels are drawn to classical rhetoric, in particular to rhetorical style levels. Using different digital tools, perception of design intensity and success of individual artifacts are measured and processed.
