Welcome to my official homepage. My name is johannes p osterhoff.
I am a media artist mainly focusing on developments in the field of graphical user interfaces.
I (quite often) live and work in Berlin, (quite regularly) teach in Stuttgart and (sometimes) exhibit in Moscow — and (once in a while) also on a space station. Sold art to New York.
Interface Night
Travelled to space (aka the final frontier). With the hardworking second semester new media students from Merz Akademie, Stuttgart. We returned with great footage. Strangely similar to the screensavers and wallpapers we knew from our own desktops. Luckily we anyway could sell to Bayrischer Rundfunk :) (2008 06 06)
Interface Art @ Pecha Kucha
On February 19, 2008 I presented Interface Art at Pecha Kucha in Tape Gallery. This means it started at 20:20, my presentation had 20 slides, for each I had 20 seconds time. Listen. (2008 27 03)

«Aero» as source of inspiration
Recently I found out that the Aero series inspired American arist David Krepfle to one of his works of the series «America's fears». As soon as I am rich I will buy it myself. (2007 11 03)

«Aqua» goes Art Moscow!
Two works of the Aqua series («Star Bars» and «Aqua: Net») were shown at «Art Moscow» on the stand of the «ABC Group»! (2007 05 17)
«Aero»
The «Aqua» follow-up. Interface art made of Vista's standard background images and icons. First shown in Galerie35, Berlin.
«Prints on Canvas»
The interface sell-off. See how fast your beloved virtual icons unexpectedly could enter a supermarket. A project with iLive- and Vista file type icons, cheap prints on even cheaper canvases, and industrial wrapping.
«IMG SRC ORG»
A visual image search engine offering a transparent interface approach. You can buy the book «IMG SRC» about visual image search as well.
«Aqua»
The interface art project that started in «The Midlife Crisis of Computer Graphics», visited EMAF and then darted off to Moscow. Updated: the very last works from «Aqua» are now online.
«Submit-Button» (very early interface art)
Das Hausbau-Projekt (the dynamically illustrated pdf-magazine)
TRY+ERROR (a photographic sequence)
The Final Frontier (TFF)
Forth interface seminar at Merz Akademie. Still into interface art, strict usability and funny user experiences. This time we will investigate depictions of astronomic phenomena as symbolizations of the infinate graphical user interface. GUI, live long an prosper :)
Isle of Paradise (IOP)
The third interface seminar at Merz Akademie is planned for the coming winter semester. This time literaly we will return to nature. Rousseau will turn in his grave. View the midi-enriched teaser page!
Models make Reality (MMR)
The second interface seminar dealing with emotional design and the concept of «user experience». This seminar led to the appreciated «Windows Real». A documentation of the seminar is also available.
