Series with transparent colors   Clavilux	Clavilux Presentation of  moving guard posts in form of cone of light. Mouse clicks will change the background colors . Mouse movement results in shiver. Cursor position outside the window changes some guard posts.  Tissue Paper Performance with transparent colors and folds  like tracing paper. Mouse clicks will change the background colors and the kind of tansparency. The cursor inside the window will fix parts of the figure. The cursor outside the window will start an automativ procedure.
Series with Squares and Cubes   Movement in Squares II Eye Irritation   Diamond Transparency Cube	Movement in Squares II This artwork consists of a development of the original by Bridget Riley. It contains a greater number of squares and crossings. There are some other effects and type of animations. Clique establishs an new crossing Cursor outside the window changes background color Cursor near by the left window frame will change all colors Cursor above a red crossing will delete the background color Diamond Diamond is constructed by many small and coloured squares. By mouse operations these small squares become influenced with different shapes and colours. Mouse movement will result in tears  in the picture Mouse clicks change colours and brightness Movement across the window frame may result in different shapes  Mouse positions in the centre  will create further shapes   Eye Irritation Shown are squares in squares which may be manipulated by mouse ineraction. Some sequences will give you the impression of a lot of looking eyes. Mouse movement results in soft changes of square positions Clicks will cover up parts of the squares and will change single squares When you let stay your mouse pointer outside of the picture several types of increasing movements are shown within some minutes A mouse click in connection with a following mouse position outside of the picture will fix  the covered parts Attention: Some sequences in "Eye Irritation" are running very fast. They may lead to eye irritations or indisposition. Transparency Transparent and trembling squares stand as a symbol for the Brown Movement of molecules. The effect increases when you position the mouse outside the window. Mouse movement creates new squares Mouse clicks change colours A Mouse position for about 2 min. outside the window will introduce new styles of presentation. Cube  Cube represents the behaviour of RNA (Ribonucleic acid) in a symbolic way. Single cubes represent singe nucleic acids, which will double after a short period of time. Parts of nucleic acids circle around using Lissajous figures. After some time the single cubes will form a greater and dynamic cube which is not stable. By clicking in the centre of the background circle you may hit some cubes and destroy them.
Neon 20	Animation of an atom:  Neon 20 Isotope. The following symbols are used: Area of location of electrons: (yellow stripes: 1. orbital, red stripes: 2.orbital, excited state: balls) Baryons: protons as white/blue clouds, neutrons as white/green clouds Quarks: up-quark filled, down-quark bordered Gluons and interaction on base of quantumchromodynamics (QCD): coloured lines After aiming electrons a click may result in interaction of a photon. Electrons may then turn into an excited state or may transmit light quantums. With some skill you may turn all electrons into an excited state.
Shambhala	Shambhala the symbol for the Great Eastern Sun after Choegyam Trungpa Rinpoche. After a  sequence of about 50 sec. the  symbol of the Great Eastern Sun is build up. Then you may use your mouse for interaction. If you click in the middle of the picture you will get new colours. Leaving the picture with the cursor will result in changing colors.
Coarse Pattern	The shape of a sphere is shown by small triangles. The triangles and colours are permanently changing. Leaving the picture with the cursor will change the shape into upward moving triangles. Colours are introduced after mouse clicks. The base motive of this picture is taken from Philip Taaffe with  Shaded Sphere, 1985. more...
Look Through	Starting the animation will lead to a moving stereo picture with a system of lenses and triangels. The 3d-effect can be seen by crossing the eyes. But be careful of headaches and other eye problems!
Spot Series Spot	Spot Series II Beam Spot 2 Beams 4 Beams 8 Beams Spot Series I  2 Spots 3 Spots 4 Spots 8 Spots 16 Spots Starting the animation will lead to dynamic movements round the central spot.  Mouse clicks in outer regions of the image will change colours (series I), and mouse clicks in upper part (series II). Clicks in lower parts of the picture will additionaly result in changes of structures (series II). Mouse pointer movements from left to right will increase the number of single beams (series II only).  Leaving the image will increase dynamics of movements.  A mouse click in the centre of the image will rebuild the starting point (series I only).  more..... The Spot Series stands for the dynamics of spotlight.
Crystal Flowers	Longer pressing of the mouse on the picture will produce after several seconds a new "crystal flower" beginning with the stalk. Leaving the picture enables complete stereo effects. This process may be repeated until the bouquet is ready. When you can manage view the picture sequences in a stereographic way by crossing your eyes. Then you will see a spatial bunch of "crystal flowers" moving in the wind.  But be careful of headaches and other eye problems!
Series with Circles Spheres Correction at 06/11/2007  Upside Down	Longer pressing of the mouse on Spheres forces the generation of new spheres which are accompanied by stereographic adjusted rays or triangles. Short pressing  will result in incomplete spheres which will dissamble later on. When you can manage view the picture sequences in a stereographic way by crossing your eyes . Then you will get new three dimensional impressions. Horizontal movements are viewed as spatial movements with crossed eyes.  But be careful of headaches and other eye problems!
	Calling Upside Down will result in a slow motion sequence. You may influence this sequence by mouse clicks, exiting the picture and moving the mouse. When you can manage view the picture sequences in a stereographic way by crossing your eyes. Then you will get new three dimensional impressions.  But be careful of headaches and other eye problems!  more...
