Exhibition "Blau" at FABRIK 45
from 18.-22 Juni in occasion to Autistic Pride Day 3
It was a great pleasure for me and other artists to be able to present a diverse impression of the
world of neurodivergent spectra. The color Blue is just one of many in this spectrum -
I have shown this with my smART data portraits of mathematical diagrams.
The smART data portraits show the life stages and data of various people - friends and acquaintances,
commissioned works and personal projects, world-famous personalities and everyday
people, with and without background information about their lives, in individual and personal color palettes.
The portraits show that people are as colorful and colorful as the world - they show the entire spectrum of their unique lives and their colorful diversity - and their stories are unique and lively, on a large and small scale.
The virtual tour of the exhibition was created by the participating artist
Christian Linnert from bo360.de - the 360-degree images were taken during the exhibition:

Announcment
June 18 - 22, 2025
Collective exhibition at FABRIK 45 with artists from the "Art Space for Autistic People"
as part of the Autistic Pride Days at KULT 41
Hochstadenring 41 and 45 in the Macke-4tel on the border of the old town here in Bonn.
The "Autistic Pride Days" are taking place for the 3rd time - by people of the spectrum, for people of the spectrum.
I am exhibiting smART data - portraits of people as mathematical diagrams
in the form of their visualized life data and thus show how beautiful,
diverse and multifaceted the human spectrum of personalities and their
individual stories and life paths are in shapes and colors.
On Saturday, June 21, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., I will be giving a free workshop
From analogue data analysis to artwork
I will show how data can be turned into artwork - as postcards or embroidery - and provide methods for
transforming your own data from everyday life into unique works of art - as colorful and unique as life itself.
The exhibition opens with a
vernissage on Wednesday 18 June 2025 at 18:00 in the FABRIK 45
with words by the curator and Bonn artist Gabriele Elser and is the prelude to the 5-day program
with numerous readings, lectures, workshops and a street festival for a lively celebration of diversity.
I look forward to seeing you there!

Merry Christmas - Merry smART Xmas 2024!
A creative year is coming to an end, a year full of interesting people and exciting projects.
A year full of data and information - what could be more fitting than a smart & arty Christmas tree?
The study by Statista is highly topical - according to an online survey in November, the
most popular German Christmas decorations are Christmas tree balls, followed by fairy lights and angels.
I personally like wooden figures and straw stars - 5th and 6th place - and with this
data visualization I would like to thank all the people who accompanied me so wonderfully in 2024.

Poster from smART data Project for the visualization of life data and works of well-known personalities from Virginia Woolf and Albert Camus, Bob Marley and Ludwig van Beethoven, Vincent van Gogh and Billie Holiday and more.
Postcards as smART Postcards and bookmarks as smART Bookmarks.
