I do a bit of whole lot of everything. I am an Austrian filmmaker, musician & designer with a keen interest in the interweaving of different creative threads. Holding degrees in Media Technology as well as Graphic & Communication Design, I am a university lecturer and the person behind MJK media. I believe in the pluralism of culture, art and media and that the creative process becomes particularly intriguing when different and complex currents of thought converge.
