Since modern, increasingly colorful graphic 'emojis' have dominated computer and smartphone messages, I think they often make it more difficult to read and understand messages. In principle, there is nothing to be said against the sparing use of these emotional comments - and here too, in my opinion, it should be uncolored and at the text character level.  For occasional use, I prefer ordinary punctuation marks, letters, special characters and numbers—in other words, 'emoticons', the raw emoji format, so to speak. Well, we all have different approaches to type, form and scope...

"Hexameter" is one of more than 19,000 hexameters from Friedrich Klopstock's epic poem 'The Messiah' - a line from the last, the 'Twentieth Canto': "Praise, o nature, yet to Him who created you!" It is a line from one of the hymns of praise to the new creation.The Greek 'hexa' is the link between the ancient meter (Greek 'hexa' = six and 'metron' = measure) and the transformation of a line with this meter into hexadecimal notation (Greek 'hexa' = six and Latin 'decem' = ten, base-16 numeral system). The content of the hexameter is more or less arbitrary. This work is an exemplary...

The man and his over-the-shoulder avatar (the 2nd me) - former software developer and technical author, retired vocational school teacher and now hobby artist who makes art for himself, or at least art for the sake of art. Unhappily widowed, mourning spouse and all the missed opportunities of decades together, but at the same time at peace with life in loneliness. Playing with language and pictures  fills  resulting emptiness with joy of life. Since images and thus also words, a smartphone and various computers are omnipresent, it is not difficult to sit down in a studio...

The work describes an aspect of thinking about ageing, or more precisely about my own ageing, and can in a way be understood as a self-portrait. In my hands, the AI-supported smartphone—gateway to the world and tool that has replaced the camera; in front of the setting sun, the symbol for an Ai chip—representing the battery of the various computers in my study. The sunset is not to be understood as the end (of the world), but rather as a time for the beginning of my creative phases.The photograph is the North Sea sky near Bremerhaven, and the work is, in the broadest sense,...

"Power Supply" is a poem written in the basic language of digital communication - a representation of the power supply for the reproduction of a version of the content that can be read and printed with a computer. This linguistic transformation is only one —ultimately very rudimentary—of many possibilities of reproduction.How to read this picture? Well, it's a process of three steps: Counting and separating, converting to decimal values, assigning the decimal values and reading the symbols/characters from an ASCII table.Counting and separatings/span>The text must be divided...

To make things easier for those who are unfamiliar with the international phonetic alphabet or who may not know it at all, here is the re-transformation into the source language. In the case of phonemic pictures whose source language is not English, a translation into English is also carried out.Memories of a vacation in Tuscany with a group of friends. During this stay, the Italian 'rilarsarsi' develops into a bon mot and is used at every appropriate and inappropriate opportunity. 'rilarsarsi' in its non-native usage is an equivalent of the German 'nur nicht verkrampfen' and can be rendered...

"Sadness of Loss" is an emotional state during a visit to C's grave. The gravestone was taken from a grave photograph, edited and assembled to form a mural as the background for work. [A] The combination of the background of the picture (the sky) and another visual object may evoke an (English) term that is ambiguous in German and thus "calls up a second theme". [B] In addition, this combination may result in a new subject or an invented word through an equally pronounced but differently spelled word combination, as well as through a differently pronounced but equally spelled...
