His work Intima is a web-based fictional biography of an astronaut.[1] His two most widely known works are Oppera Internettikka and Ballettikka Internettikka (1997–2006). He has received several awards for his work (in Moscow, Hamburg, Dresden, Belfort, and Madrid), and his projects form part of the permanent collections of the most prestigious art institutions, among them Le Centre national d'art et de Culture Georges Pompidou - Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Moderna galerija in Ljubljana, and the Computerfinearts Gallery - net and media art collection in New York.
His multimedia projects research tactical emotional states, intimate political guerrilla, and traumatic low-tech strategies. He lectures as a guest artist at universities and contemporary art institutes in Europe and North America.
