About me

My attention growing up has been consumed entirely: disassembling every gadget, hacking around the limitations of old computers, being fascinated by video games, future and the concept of time, escaping to imagined worlds of books, tv shows and movies, and when I asked for more making my own. I have always been an overly curious and creative individual.

I am a child of revolution, born exactly 9 months after the Velvet Revolution in Prague. My workaholic, critical and compassionate parents with common jobs passed onto me the best of their genes. Then they provided me with the best middle-class support a 3rd child can ask for: freedom to figure out the world for myself.

Looking back the 35 years I had so far the below defines who I am and what I stand for today.

• I must wonder and create, else I ache.
• I bring in morality and compassion to my work.
• I question and stay critical of dogmas.
• I look for the fun in the drama.

I think humanity is build on dreams and beliefs. Proofs are what make the society. Society changes when a believe produces a proof. That's what science achieved through practical use of technology. My believe is that there are many like-minded creators such as myself. Maybe Great is the proof.
