Paul Geisler And Fabian Nitschkowski Work With Complex Systems That Interact With Their Environment. Their Work Is Based On Balanced Interplay Of Computers, Sensors, Actuators And Human Participants. It's Often Focused On The Process, Not On The Results Themselves. On This Base They Created Installations, Objects And Situations Since 2004.
