Hoellein / Marx
Hoellein and Marx care to say „we like to play“, but they mean it as much as children do. The duo got together in 2004 and since then have been producing installation art and picture collages, among others contract work for the Frauenhofer Institute as well as collaboration with musicians and filmmakers from a variety of genres, including Stephan Winkler, Monosurround and Matthias Kopp. Hoellein and Marx founded the Omnihum Maximum Art Exhibition in Kreuzberg in Berlin in 2009.

Jesko Marx
Born in Freital in 1974, Jesko Marx lives and works in Berlin. From 1994 to 1999 he learned communication studies there under Dr. Peter Zec, designing the internationally acclaimed video "The red dot" for his mentor's Design Zentrum in North Rhein- Westphalia. After that he carried out contract work for the Biennial Berlin Music Festival and has since been working on freelance commercial video projects and installation art pieces including contracts for the German Music Council. He embarked on a four-week journey throughout the Indian Ocean filming a photo documentary in 2008. Video shoots and installation art come to life by means of computer generated simulations from self-developed programs and edited with computer animation.

Steffen Hoellein
Steffen Hoellein was born in 1972 in the city of Coburg in Bavaria, Germany. A jack-of-all-trades and graphic designer since 1990, he moved to Berlin in 1994, went to a multimedia audio engineering college and opened a New Economy advertising agency, which he then sold in 2004 to concentrate on the fine arts with fellow artist Jesko Marx. Steffen Hoellein climbed the mountain Mutspitze (2,294 m -7,526 ft) in Italy in 2008. He is 180 cm (5' 9") tall and a very busy man.
