Markus Heckmann^DE

Markus Heckmann studied media technology at the TU Ilmenau and the Bauhaus University Weimar, before he started his work as Technical Director at Derivative in 2006.

In his artistic work, he combines the aesthetics of generative computer graphics with the physical properties of light. For his performances, Markus uses Derivative's TouchDesigner to develop new visual instruments, which allow him to perform live improvised with the music. The visual worlds created in this way are far removed from any representation but bring the medium itself to dream. Colors, shapes, and movements draw imaginary spaces that he explores and documents with virtuosity. The work of art is created in the same moment in which it is viewed.
