1 GRAPHIC WORKS
At the very beginning of my experience with making graphics lies my experience and passion with photography. Something like 10 years ago I purchased my f irst digital camera and since then fell in love with the medium of photogpraphy. My next steps led to exploration of classical analog photo technology and from that moment the battle between these two different aproaches went on. Realizing that the f ight could also lead to a complementary circle that closes I started to feel the need of exploring and confronting these two technologically oposite worlds. I always believed in the concept of strong visual impact and message without any aditional postproduction. I sticked to this approach during my 2 years that Ive spent on Prague College. I explored different techniques, concepts and visual styles.

I N T E R J
Nem az els eset, hogy a Texas Instruments (TI) legfelsbb vezetsnek tagja Budapestre ltogat: az analg elektronikai zletgrt felels alelnk, Gregg Lowe 2009. jniusi ltogatsrl magunk is beszmoltunk. Az szemlyes ltogatsa is meglepetst keltett azzal, hogy tbb magyar kereskedelmi partnert, aktv s potencilis felhasznlt felkeresett (s nem csak a legnagyobbakat!), st mg lapunk szerkesztsgben is megfordult. Azonban gy ltszik, egyetlen tovbbi lps erejig mg ez is fokozhat, hiszen 2010. februr 10-n maga az elnk-vezrigazgat, Rich Templeton ltogatott haznkba, hogy a magyar piac, az elektronikai ipar, az oktats, valamint a szaksajt meghvott kpviselivel tallkozzk. A TI els szm vezetjnek megjelense egy ilyen loklis rendezvnyen valamilyen fontos bejelentst sejtetett, de nem errl volt sz: a Marriott Hotel Budapest taln legszebb panormjt knl bltermben rendezett fogads meghvott vendgei ismerkedhettek a flvezetpiac egyik fszerepljnek fejlesztsi eredmnyeivel, tallkozhattak vezetivel, beszlgethettek velk gondolataikrl, nzeteikrl, a magyar piac szereplit is foglalkoztat ltalnos gazdasgi krdsekrl s a cg kelet-dlkelet-eurpai rgijt rint elkpzelsekrl. A Hungarian Day rendezvnyt Peter Notheis, a cg Dlkelet-eurpai rtkestsi igazgatja nyitotta meg. Rviden szszefoglalta a magyarorszgi elektronikai ipar helyzett, amely rthetv teszi a TI rdekldst a rgi irnt. Az esemny apropja a 2009 jniusa ta Budapesten mkd, a haznkon kvl mg hat tovbbi orszgot tmogat iroda kiss megksett avatsa volt. Magyarorszgot a vilg egyik vezet elektronikai termelrgijnak nevezni els hallsra taln meglep lehet, de a szmok ezt igazoljk, 18 millird USD ves termelsvel Indival s Olaszorszggal van egy slycsoportban, a rendszervlts utni vtizedben az egy fre jut klfldi befektets elrte az 1300 USD-t (ez pldul a csehorszginak ktszerese). Ennek ra, hogy az elektronikai ipar 73%-a klfldi kzben van, azonban a 86%-os exportarny gy is igen jt tesz a magyar klkereskedelmi mrlegnek s bizonytja a hazai termels versenykpessgt. Ez indokolja a TI gyelmt az orszg irnt,
s ezrt kvn az eredmnyek tovbbi javtsban sajt eszkzeivel, innovcis eredmnyeivel is rszt venni. A bevezet utn Rich Templeton dvzl szavai kvetkeztek, aki az elektronikai iparban 78 ve jelen lv, az integrlt ramkrk megszletsnl a Nobel-djas Jack Kilby munkjval is bbskod, a technolgiai fejlesztsre vente ktmillird USD-t klt cg technolgiai vezet szerept, innovatv stratgijt hangslyozta. A Gazdasgi Minisztrium kpviseletben Dr. Sipos Mihly fejezte ki jkvnsgait a piaci jelenltt magasabb szintre emel TI-nek, mltatva ennek jelentsgt a magyar elektronikai ipar szempontjbl. A program technikai prezentcikkal folytatdott, amelyre rdemes volt odagyelni, mert a vendgltk kvzjtkot rendeztek a kzlt technikai informcikbl, s a gyzteseket olyan termkekkel jutalmaztk, amelyben magas arnyt kpvisel a TI-technolgia. Az esemny alkalmat adott szerkesztsgnknek, hogy beszlgethessnk Rich Templeton elnk-vezrigazgatval. Mennyire szoksos, hogy egy regionlis kpviseleti iroda megnyitsn a cg els embere is megjelenik? Templeton: Egyltaln nem az. Magyarorszg azonban a fldrajzi kiterjedshez kpest jelents arnyt kpvisel a vilg elektronikai gyrtsban, radsul egy olyan rgiban foglal el kzponti helyet, amelyben nagy fejldsi lehetsgek rejlenek. Ezrt jelent szmunkra nagyobb esemnyt ennek az irodnak a megnyitsa egy szoksos helyi irodnl. Eszerint Kelet-Eurpnak fontos szerepet tulajdontanak?

2 VIDEO WORKS
Through the road of photography the way was pointing also towards video and cinema. As this medium is more rich in terms of information it took me longer time to adjust and get used to the timeline. During many editing sessions either for a friend, assignment or simply from curiosity to learn something new I became more precise and acurate in my expression. Cut became my best friend, sound synchronisation second best. While VJing was always what I admired during clubbing I never really had a chance to put my hands on it until Visualize That! in Pilot Club, which I put together for all 12 classmates and all of our friends that came to support us. Success! Another step was a commisioned visuals for 3 nights for Ocean Versus Daughter in a lovely church Sv. Jana Ktitele na Prdle. Doing live visuals for band is exciting and needs a lot of attention. But it came out as extremely rewarding. My next steps are leading to video mapping. It surprises the audience, leaving a lot of questions in their heads. Ilusion, surprise and sometimes confusion could be the topics for the future.

Video Projections for Ocean Versus Daughter Technology Resolume Avenue 3 Purpose The band wanted to push their show further in terms of visuals. Especially commisioned were the ones for Fringe festival 2010 when the band played 3 shows after each other in church Sv. Jana Ktitele na Prdle. The show was very successful and later on I had a chance to acompany their music again in new Belushis bar in Mosaic House.
