Vladimir works as a Digital Experience Specialist for DB Schenker (research, digital strategy, communication). Outside of work, he is active as Merzmensch (writer, researcher, and artist), exploring creative collaboration between humans and machines. He has written several books, most recently "KI-Kunst" (AI-Art) on the history of the creative use of AI. He gives talks on educational and artistic topics related to Gen AI.
In his blog "Merzazine" he documents and elaborates the intersection of new technology and culture in the 21st century, comparing it with art history, especially historical avant-garde (Dadaism, Surrealism, Merz-Art), being an expert in this field of research. His essays have been published in "Towards Data Science," "Predict,” "Data Driven Investors,” "Heise Developer" and other international media and channels.
As Z Ambassador he wants to develop Z Workstation as an ideal tool for artists and creatives.
