This website is about self-narration. Narrating oneself is a creative act. Its motto here: »simulation stimulates«!
A Work
We refer to the result of any creative effort as a work. It becomes an artwork only when recognized participants in the art world assign this status. For example, by exhibiting the work in a proper art space, as in a museum.
The Web
Anyone who presents themselves online is subject to far fewer restrictions than a work whose creator would like to see it ennobled as artwork. The web provides virtually everyone with the opportunity to present themselves in every conceivable role. But are they credible? Furthermore, roles taken on the web may be subject to rules or laws. The individual used as material for this website is data protection officer of the company hosting this website, its sole shareholder, the managing director, and provides their skills for his company's advertising. Each of these roles is subject to legal regulations. How do they still manage to create something?
The End
Fortunately, this page puts an end to his previous self-portrayal on the web.
