About Me
Hey! I'm Maik. I teach Game Art and Design at the University of Fine Arts Essen. I work as an artist, game designer, musician and researcher in the fields of Virtual Reality, Serious Playfulnes, Light & Sound and Experimental Design, among others.
As part of the annual PLAY Festival team I make people happy and as a DJ for bass-heavy music I keep them dancing. I also founded a record label with some old friends and I am a member of the Chaos Computer Club.
