Way of working

„Die Visualisierung der Zukunft ist eine Reise durch das Terrain des Fragens wobei sich mehr der Kompass als die Karte,  für das geeignete Hilfsmittel unter Beweis stellt.“  Tobias` Ansatz ist es, Realitäten zu übersetzen und Wirklichkeiten zu verdichten, über das Erwartete hinauszugehen, sich zu lösen und die wahre Natur des Moments zu zeigen. Das bedeutet, einen Schritt zurückzutreten und vor Allem Fragen zu stellen, anstatt Antworten zu geben. Wie kann man technologische Errungenschaften und daraus resultierende Vorteile für den Menschen visuell kommunizieren und gleichzeitig mit natürlichen Kreisläufen harmonieren?
