* What is the current focus of your work? What themes or subjects are you currently addressing in your work?
I am interested in communication among insects, plants and birds. The newest goals are to record tree produced bio acoustics (how a tree is drinking water). Mostly concepts of my work are related to nature, environment and technology. Sometimes I look for an inspiration in science. I like to think that I am making works based on computer art, but trying to bring it out in the physical world and not putting an emphasis on the digital one.

* Do you have an idol or is there an art form that you totally adore?
No, I don’t have an idol or an art form that I adore, but I really don’t like contemporary dance and I have no explanation why it is like that.

*What kind of processes do you use in your work?
I have not one in particular that I would like the most and often it depends on what I want to get out of a work. Mostly my finished works involve multiple processes. I start with one idea, that usually becomes the basis for the work. Later another work grows from it that usually is made by using different processes. I think I am trying to find a process that would characterize a topic or somehow would compliment the concept or would be related to the theme of a work.
