Pitch-Decks
Participatory-Art-Decks can be described as an experimental artwork that delves into the aesthetics and language of pitch decks, but with a clear focus on the mechanisms and strategies of persuasion as they are employed in business, influencing, and modern networking cultures. It is not merely about creative exploration but rather about capturing attention—gathering partners, followers, collaborators, or supporters—a kind of modern soul-catching. The process of creating and presenting such decks is examined as an art form that reflects both the surface and the manipulative depth of these modes of communication.
2024, Pitch Deck,
„AGA – Allianz für Gerechtigkeit und Akzeptanz/
Alliance for justice and acceptance„
Call for the Founding of a new exclusively German Minority Party
This artistic project explores the radical idea of a political party dedicated exclusively to representing minorities. Presented as a fictional pitch deck, it delves into the potential and challenges of such an initiative, raising questions about justice, acceptance, and representation in an increasingly polarized world.
„Let’s work
together to build
a fairer community
for everyone.“
Interestingly, the concept of founding a party solely for minorities presents an inherent paradox: By focusing exclusively on minority groups, it ironically introduces an element of exclusion.
A Minority Party would amplify underrepresented voices, address issues like discrimination, accessibility, and equity, and challenge traditional power structures. By uniting diverse groups, it could foster collaboration, societal cohesion, and transformative political innovation. However, the project also examines critical tensions: Can such a party achieve broad societal influence without deepening political fragmentation? How can it maintain coherence and avoid internal or external polarization?
Beyond these questions, the project reflects on the strengths and weaknesses of the broader party system itself. While political parties enable organized representation and decision-making, they often promote subjective priorities, ideological divides, and power struggles over collective welfare. How, then, can truly fair and inclusive politics be achieved without succumbing to individual preferences, biases, or group-specific agendas?
This exploration also invites audiences to reconsider whether democracy, as it currently functions, offers sufficient tools for justice and representation. Could alternative democratic models—such as deliberative assemblies, consensus-driven processes, or citizen panels—provide more equitable solutions? What role might art and culture play in imagining such innovative pathways to political decision-making?
As a symbolic artistic intervention, this work provokes reflection on power, diversity, and the role of minorities in shaping society. Through interactive installations, audiences are invited to engage with these ideas, contributing their perspectives and reconsidering the possibilities and limits of political representation and organization. This project challenges viewers to rethink societal structures and envision new pathways to justice and inclusion.

2024, Pitch Deck, „Loopliloop„
Automated Journeys into the Past
Personal archive, personal timeline, family tree & family history, VR timetrips, healing journeys, (military) memory curation, shared moments, personal legacy
and more…
„Highest security and ethical standards for health and data protection.“
Loopliloop organizes and securely archives your memories automatically, enriching them with your personal details. Relive your most cherished moments through an interactive experience tailored to your preferences and share them with future generations. Whether it’s the birth of your children or an unforgettable vacation, loopliloop brings your memories via VR to life before they fade.
Unwanted memories, such as those tied to breakups, can be flagged using facial recognition and seamlessly excluded or revisited later, ensuring that positive memories remain while negative ones fade. Small image fragments can be expanded automatically across scenes, recreating forgotten moments based on your settings.
By combining advanced algorithms with an innovative approach to personal archives, loopliloop connects your photos and videos from private cloud services and local archives, making them tangible through interactive „time travel.“ It’s a bridge between past and present – for you and your loved ones.
„Military Healing:
Special programs
for veterans with PTSD.“
„What is our USP?
loopilooop combines technology with
emotional depth.“
The artwork loopliloop critically examines the ethical and societal risks of modern platforms. Despite promises of security, there is a risk of sensitive personal data being misused. Facial recognition and AI-driven retouching could be employed without users‘ consent. AI-generated modifications distort memories, threatening their authenticity. Over-reliance on platforms to cope with loss or trauma may hinder genuine emotional processing.
Standardized representations and additions to memories jeopardize individual and cultural narratives. Memories and emotions are commodified, monetized, and influenced by advertising. Virtual interactions risk replacing genuine social connections, potentially exacerbating loneliness. Furthermore, AI might generate unpredictable or ethically questionable content, undermining trust in such technologies.
The artwork is presented as a start-up pitch deck composed of promises, financial fantasies, and visionary goals. It also features an interactive installation where visitors can upload their digital memories. These are manipulated by AI, alienated, and shared via channels like a loopliloop website and social media platforms. The aim is to highlight the distortion and commercialization of memories.
„Technology Meets Emotion: AI turns memories into personalized experiences.“
The piece encourages critical reflection on the dangers of modern technologies and urges users to handle platforms and personal data more cautiously. It advocates for ethical guidelines in developing such technologies and opposes the monetization of emotions and memories, emphasizing their protection as invaluable, non-commercial aspects of human identity.
„Connecting Past and Future
loopilooop bridges memories of the past with future needs.“
