My Motivation

We have to live with art-it is an indispensable part of our environment. Great artwork should be a part of everyone's life, whether by greats like Pablo Picasso or other artists like Paul Wunderlich or Sonia Delaunay. I believe sharing one's home or office with artwork is always worth it. Make the artistic process part of your life.

ethonoma – Research Institute for Ethics, Culture & Science

Since 2025, I have been developing my own research institute. The institute is conceived as an independent and autonomous organization dedicated exclusively to scholarly research. Its work investigates the cultural, ethical, and creative grammars of transformation. At its core lies the question of how responsibility, judgment, and the capacity for shaping social realities can be reconceptualized in a world increasingly structured by technological and economic dynamics. Within this framework, research is understood as an aesthetic practice, a mode of knowledge production that maintains a dynamic relationship between art, science, and society. Methodologically, the institute operates across multiple levels of both fundamental and applied research. A central focus lies on ethical perspectives on societal, economic, and artistic-cultural transformations and developments, pursued through an explicitly interdisciplinary approach.
