HOLO 0/1 – Video/LED Installation
As part of the Zurich Art Weekend 2021, the video installation 0/1 was presented at Galerie Wild in Zurich. Thirty-six RGB LED strips, mounted on nine rotor blades, are combined into a single display measuring 150×150 cm. The animated video appears to float in the air, creating a ‘faux-hologram’. 0/1 is a graphic and technical experiment exploring typography, geometry, and movement.

Desert Radar
Video Projection
Piero Glina and Sebastian Cremers worked on a visual recipe of how to represent a very abstract musical composition by Sagardía, played by the sholarship holders of the Ensemble Modern in Frankfurt, Germany on stage, on posters, flyers and on DVD.
By the use of movie scenes and halftone images, the audience was invited to reflect and associate on the video as well as on the music. The imagery was abstracted to a point where only single moving dots of the halftone were visible.
Die Not hat ein Ende
(Excerpt)
An edited compilation of a video installation shown during the Fumetto Comic Festival 2015 in Lucerne, Switzerland. The animation shows animated album covers and concert posters from the book Die Not hat ein Ende, which covers the history of rock music in Switzerland, focusing on the visualization of these subcultures.

Freedom Of Perception
Dot Matrix Animation
‘When you are talking about freedom of speech, you also have to talk about freedom of perception.ʼ – Paul Virilio
The visual element is a stylisation of the tv-screen itself, which is arranged with small dots. The dots display single letters and form a hidden and deliberately false message which in itself becomes a brainwash.
Pope – 2nd Generation
Music Video
The music project Pope (Perception Of Private Entity) represents a highly experimental electronic sound that is essentially quite difficult to enjoy. Michael Schirner describes his project as ‘music we like and therefore destroy’. This video for the song 2nd Generation combines edited VHS glitches with a purposely boring real-life setting.
We Belong Dead
The publication We Belong Dead is an experiment to use the means of a book as a tool to uncover cinematic clichés of story-telling. The classic camera shot of the last words of a protagonist who dies in the arms of his or her counterpart grew so familiar that it became exchangeable. This book is a compilation of such scenes collected from 88 movies, intertwined in one endless loop. Each single page contains one scene of one movie on its front and back, so every spread displays a scene of a story that never happened.
This Is Your God
«I have come here to chew bubble gum and to kick ass.»
This two volume publication celebrates the cult classic movie They Live by John Carpenter. The first volume includes an exact replica of a magazine prop as seen in the movie, containing the iconic typography with all its flaws and special characteristics. The second volume shows the places the words came from.
