Selected Works





Invisible Worlds               science center,exhibition,immersive experience


            "Invisible Worlds" is a captivating 360-degree science and art installation at the American Museum of Natural History's new Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation. It provides a breathtaking insight into the interconnectedness of all life on Earth.

As Senior Art Director at Tamschick Media and Space, I significantly contributed to this project, creating styleframes, overseeing the animatic, as design supervision during the production, and on-site implementation.

The installation, created with scientists and global advisors, utilized data from various institutions, including Lidar scans of New York City. My work helped transform complex scientific concepts into visually appealing experiences, drawing inspiration from real locations like the Amazon Rainforest and Central Park. "Invisible Worlds" represents an innovative exhibition method, making scientific data visually accessible. The result is an immersive experience for visitors.2023

The thematic areas are arranged radially on a cir- cumferential ramp around the „drill head" that leads upwards with a slight incline through the world of OMV Upstream: Beginning with an emotional intro-duction to the 360° Mainshow, complex projection mappings, prototypical overhead projections and immersive spatial stagings the exhibition visit ends with an augmented reality view on all Upstream te-chnology facilities around the new high-tech building in Gänserndorf near Vienna. 2020

Kleist Museum           installation


              For the opening of the new permanent exhibition in the Kleist Museum, I was asked to design and realize a visual concept for the first room. The work is a 12 x 3 meter projection in an endless loop. The intention of my design was to generate an atmospheric presentation, which on the one hand is in harmony with the theme of the first room and on the other hand also deals with the architectural conditions. The animation creates a completely different perception of space, it optically opens the space into the depths and draws the visitors into its atmospheric spell. 2014
