About me

I have always been photographing, on and off. Earlier I made many drawings, but I have only made one painting. Also I have spent some time writing fiction (and some music), but most of that didn't survive the test of time...

A quarter of a century ago I discovered microcomputers, and programming. In 1999 Internet arrived; a lot of webdesign followed.

I'm equally interested in graphics and logic. Because: I consider art an exploration af this mysterious universe (how did we end here and where would we like to go?). And, I think of science as essentially a creative act (worldmaps aren't discovered but created).

Since the mid-nineties I have been the host of an ongoing discussion about life, science, the universe and everything else since last time. We meet second saturday every month (I guess next year will see the 150'th meeting).

After all these years I still feel like this: You aint seen nothing yet!

My motto

The only thing
faster than light
is imagination...

Timeline

2008

Group exibition: "Charlottenborg uden filter". I participated with 5 photos from the LIGHT SHOW collection.

2006

I returned to photography, realizing that the most unknown entities are things right in front of us. Thus my favorite 'ism' is presently: realism with a fantastic background.

2005

I made the image for the Fantasticon-poster (Løyche took care of text/layout)

2004

I was involved in a book project; Denmark 2020
about the near future.
I made the cover plus 23 illustrations inside.
Editor: Alex Heick.
Publisher: Tiderne Skifter.


2003

I was cofounder of Fantastik - the danish Fantastic association: www.phantastik.dk

1998

In autumn 1998 I was (collaborating with Henrik Schmidt) involved with a Fantastic Art Exibition "Fantastika", combined with two science fiction conventions in northwest Copenhagen...

Earlier

Phantazm started in 1990 as a paperzine (dealing with sf, fantasy, horror, surrelism), but later it went online: www.phantazm.net

Since the mid-nineties I have been the host of an ongoing discussion about life, science, the universe and everything else since last time. We meet the second saturday every month (I guess next year will see the 150'th meeting).

After all these years, I still feel like this: you aint seen nothing yet!
