carsten nicolai, born 1965 in karl-marx-stadt, is a german artist and musician based in berlin. he is part of an artist generation who works intensively in the transitional area between music, art and science. in his work he seeks to overcome the separation of the sensory perceptions of man by making scientific phenomenons like sound and light frequencies perceivable for both eyes and ears. influenced by scientific reference systems, nicolai often engages mathematic patterns such as grids and codes, as well as error, random and self-organizing structures. on my website i have started to show the interplay of these elements and to give an insight into his work in the fields of sound, visuals and technic.

The website is not published and includes a personal time limited impression of the designer personality.
