2019-03-19 › Focusing on projects originating from true interests and feelings. › Reset for new approaches
I have started many so-called side projects in the past. All of them were based on long-term interests and the feeling, that I just have to do them, not knowing exactly why. Unfortunately side projects most likely get interrupted by other things and remain unfinished or just as an idea. This year it's time to stop the interruption, step aside and resume all those lost ideas. Reset. read more

2018-08-06 › Bringing my photography into a new context › Flickering in the anthropocene
It took me a long time to figure out the connections between my photography and my geoscientific work. In the past the two have run in parallel, seeming to cover very different topics. Now i have found the intersection: the vague term of the anthropocene. read more

2016-04-11 › First permanent installation › Ruwai set free
Last week we installed two Ruwai data recorders at two field sites. One in a gallery at the foot of mount Hoher Sonnblick and another one at the top of mount Kitzsteinhorn. I’m curious if the data recorders behave as reliable as they did in the lab. read more

2016-03-25 › GPS timestamping works › Ruwai in sync
One very important feature of a seismograph is the timestamping of the sampled data to an absolute time reference. The most important a global time reference is the GPS time and I'm using it to correctly timestamp the samples of the Ruwai data recorder. A test with another seismic data recorder of a different type shows that it is working. read more
