There was a point where I seriously considered taking the creative path instead of going into software engineering.
Photography was a big part of that.
I ultimately chose engineering partly for the stability, but mostly because software touches almost every domain. It gives you a way to solve problems across completely different industries without being locked into just one world.
Still, photography and art never really left me.
That creative side never disappeared either. I think you can still see it in how much I care about UI/UX and the small details that shape a product's feel.
Two years ago, I was invited to the Feuerle Collection for the opening of the Silk Room exhibition. The collection, architecture and atmosphere stayed with me so much that I ended up becoming a supporter.
This year felt especially meaningful: the institution is celebrating its 10th anniversary and has entered a new chapter as Feuerle Puig House.
All of it still lives inside a former WWII telecommunications bunker in Berlin, renovated by John Pawson, which is part of what makes the place feel so unique.
Recently, I was invited back for the Summer Friends Dinner.
Around 200 people from art, diplomacy, public life, tech and culture - along with collectors, founders and people who simply love art - gathered. With conversations ranging from geopolitics and Europe’s role in the world to AI, authorship, cultural identity, and how technology might reshape the way we create and value art.
I always enjoy being in rooms where people think differently from the ones I spend most of my week with.
I've never been a big fan of afterwork events that are just an extension of work. I'd rather learn who someone is outside their job. You know, what they care about? What shaped them and what they think about when work isn't the topic.
It's a good reminder that some of the most interesting ideas happen when different worlds overlap.
@beyondwudan@DavidHein238521@theo It's not a harness. Just another GUI over your harness that you bring like claude code, codex etc to bring them all to a common interface together
got to see Gaphouse 57 before the soft opening through friends involved with the space. Then came back for the soft opening a little later.
really like what’s going to be build there.
new space for art, sound and fashion in a city where culture gets pushed out.
~15 min from Frankfurter Tor.
Haderlump moved their atelier in, more artists are following, and the space will host exhibitions and events over the next year until construction starts…
