Since 2003 he has lived in Berlin, where he works as a multimedia artist. His works focus on the interaction of digital processes and the analysis of reality and consciousness. Sven wants to uncover the contradictions in the reality of his life and question his habits. Many of his works are interactive installations that invite the viewer to actively participate. Through this type of discussion, existing perspectives and ideas are correlated with the content of his work.
