Artistic Director, Busland Interactive
My work centers on interactive art and multimedia performances in Berlin, crafting immersive cultural experiences while exploring sustainability, technology’s evolving role, and its impact on income and housing through published articles.
Explore Articles on Independence, Sustainability & Economic Change
Dive into thought-provoking articles that navigate unconventional paths to personal freedom, sustainable living, and the shifting challenges of mobility and financial independence in today’s complex world.
Drawing Outside the Lines: Navigating Freedom, Sustainability, and Economic Shifts
This insightful series reflects on over four decades of firsthand experience confronting the intertwined challenges of economic freedom, sustainable lifestyles, and modern capitalism. Starting with alternative housing solutions, it explores the realities of a cashless society, the gig economy, and rising living costs.
Through stories as a street performer and freelancer, the author highlights the shrinking space for financial independence and mobility amid growing regulation and corporate influence.
Advocating for radical ideas like Universal Basic Income (UBI) and creative reuse of unused land for affordable housing, the series calls for a fairer, greener future beyond the limits of today’s economic system.
Exit Strategy – A Berlin Story now on Substack!
Exit Strategy — A Berlin Story: Now on Substack!
A deeply personal journey through trauma, resilience, and legacy.
Exit Strategy shares the haunting and hopeful tale of my fractured family history amid 20th-century Europe’s turmoil. From my father’s escape from Nazi Germany to the legacy carried by my daughter, Grace Juno Cassel, the story explores themes of identity, survival, and transformation. Through vivid recollections, I challenge traditional norms and invite new definitions of lineage and identity.
These experiences deeply influence my work in interactive art and multimedia performances in Berlin, including projects like Busland Interactive and this very series. Together, they build cultural spaces that honor diverse histories and inspire fresh perspectives.
Join the Adventure on Substack!
I’m releasing Exit Strategy in weekly chapters on my Substack, blending writing with video, music, and songs.
Subscriptions are free! If you’d like to support my work, contributions between €5 and €10 are warmly welcomed — think of it as dropping a few coins in my hat.
(P.S. Some names have been changed for privacy, but the stories remain true.)

Spaced Out Tourists is a specially created outdoor episode from the larger indoor family show The Cosmic Garbage Bin, designed for all outdoor events and festivals. For more information about the indoor show click here: The Cosmic Garbage Bin
Join Astronaut Ginch Zot and Captain Gorfo Ghirk from planet Garbon—two lovable aliens on a mission to capture Voracious Ted, a monster devouring everything beautiful in the universe and turning it into garbage. Ted has landed on Earth, causing environmental disasters everywhere, laughing as the audience boos.
With the help of a brave local girl named Alice, Gorfo and Ginch set out to clean up the planet and find Ted. But when Ted appears, he swallows Alice whole in one big bite!
Our heroes return to rescue Alice, neutralize the monster, and place him in a garbage bag for recycling.
This simple, fun story runs about 15 minutes, performed by four actors plus a local community assistant. The show comes fully self-contained, including a fully functioning spaceship, and can be performed up to four times daily. Setup takes about 60 minutes, with 30 minutes for teardown.
