"I am Austrian, born in Vienna, grown up in the place called "Sandleitenhof" and living there since then: 1967. I have one brother and four sisters. The in-laws in my family extended a bit the local flavor
of Sandleitenhof, the city of Vienna and the country of Austria: my brothers and sisters are coming from Romania, Canada/Vietnam, Syria and Germany (my wife) and two more from Austria.
Once upon a time - ages ago in a past millennium - I studied "Engineering in Science" (Physic) from elementary particles up to the scale of cosmological aspects of the laws of nature. I forgot everything about it in the meantime. Only basic mathematics I am still capable of doing, which in fact currently I am doing, as I am tutoring young refugees from Afghanistan in mathematics. However I left the field of physics: space, matter and time and entered the field of information and communication.
After study-times, when I jumped into the cold water of work-life, I ended up in the industry branch of mobile telecommunications technologies - connecting people (the old slogan of the Finnish-based company Nokia) - since the year 1997, trying to shape a mobile information society.
My personal areas of interest are literature, music and politics. I do like literature and music that much, that I am not only reading and listening but I am also writing short stories and making music myself.
Looking forward to get connected to the folks from Peru :-)".

Embrace was a tetralogy realized in close collaboration with Hansel Sato, composed of Knowing , Know , Understanding , and Learning , a project that brought together people from the multiethnic Sandleitenhof residential complex in Vienna with people from various districts of multicultural Lima. Begun remotely in December 2013, it culminated in Vienna between May 17 and 31. It integrated mail art, public space interventions, installations, exchanges, and performance.
Abrazar was part of the XIII SOHO in Ottakring Festival, held in May 2014 in the Sandleiten neighborhood, district 16 of the city of Vienna, Austria, curated by Ula Schneider and Hansel Sato.
