About me: Norbert Bayer aka. Mister Ministeck is known for his notorious pixelextravaganza and has created an unexpected renaissance of an almost forgotten technique: The mosaic.
But he wouldn't be known as Mister Ministeck if his mosaics weren't somehow special: They're made from plastic. To be exact: From little plastic pieces, placed on a grid.
Mister Ministeck's way of combining those little plastic-pixels with images from the virtual world - for example screenshots/ images from C64 computergames for the TouchScreens-series creates quite a paradox energy, which is even stronger in those images that have been rendered on the computer, for example the coverdesigns for the "Fucky don't CD" and "INPUT 64"-samplers.

After his graduation he's been working on the research-project www.return3D.de, a documentary about the 4th dimension in Marcel Duchamp's work, together with Prof. Dr. Ursula Panhans-Bühler. Besides that he's been busy doing illustrations for the german newspaper DIE ZEIT and LP/CD covers for several labels.
I'm happy to announce that I just started illustrating a column for German weekly paper DIE ZEIT. You'll find it - and sometimes even more of my illustrations - in the section CHANCEN.
Many greetings!
Mister Ministeck Norbert
