His main focus is on the mutual\u00a0 interpenetration of modern technologies and modern ways of life, worldviews, and mentalities. He completed his university education with a practical and philosophical exploration of cycling (Rasende Flaneure. Eine Wahrnehmungsgeschichte des Fahrradfahrens,<\/em> M\u00fcnster: LIT Verlag 2003). In the 2000s, inspired by a trip on a container ship, which he undertook as the cameraman for a documentary film, he intensively studied the principles of containerization and logistics, see www.containerwelt.info<\/a><\/span>. As a research associate in the program department of the German Federal Cultural Foundation, he was responsible for advising and promoting civic cultural projects in the new federal states, while also developing and managing artistically expanded discourse formats such as \u201cThe Undead\u201d (with Hannah Hurtzig, Kampnagel Hamburg, May 2010) and \u201cAs Darkness Falls. Theory und Practice of Self-Empowerment in the Age of Digital Control\u201d (with Berliner Gazette, Volksb\u00fchne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz Berlin, January 2014).\u00a0 He remained active in Halle and the surrounding area through his collaborations with Werkleitz even after his time at the Federal Cultural Foundation, most recently with the exhibitions \u201cMy Precious\u201d (Novalis Castle Oberwiederstedt, May\/June 2023) and \u201cPlanetary Peasants\u201d (Moritzburg Art Museum Halle, May-September 2025). Since 2015, he has been working primarily on new understandings of culture and nature in the context of the Anthropocene concept, and since early 2016, he has been focusing on the culture and history of \u201cPetromodernity\u201d: the era shaped by petroleum technologies and materialities. Together with cultural scientist Benjamin Steininger and speculative designer Bernd Hopfeng\u00e4rtner, he founded the research collective Beauty of Oil<\/a><\/span> and curated the exhibition \u201cOIL. Beauty and Horror of the Petroleum Age\u201d (Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, September 4, 2021 to January 9, 2022). The work of the JTC research team Chemistry in Transition focuses on the hitherto little-considered middle section of petro-modern productivity between exploration, extraction, and transport of raw materials on the one hand, and distribution and dissemination of fuels and consumer goods and their decomposition products on the other.\u00a0<\/p>\n Publications (Selected)<\/p>\n Monographs<\/strong><\/p>\n Atlas of Petromodernity <\/em>(with Benjamin Steininger; translated into English by Ay\u00e7a T\u00fcrko\u011flu), Goleta\/Cal.: Punctum Books 2024 \u2013> open access<\/em><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Erd<\/em>\u00f6<\/em>l.
