Thomas Feuerstein's works and projects are realised using various media. They comprise installations, environments, objects, drawings, paintings, sculptures, photographies, videos, radio plays, and net art. Some of the crucial aspects are the interplay between verbal and visual elements, the unearthing of latent connections between fact and fiction, as well as the interaction between art and science. For his purposes Feuerstein has come up with an artistic method he calls "conceputal narration." Since the end of the eighties he has investigated the possibilities of algorithmic art. Beginning in the early nineties, first net installations come about that look at the economic and mass medial conditions for the construction of reality. The Biophily project (1995 to 2002) puts up for discussion a new idea of man in the face of bio-technology and genetic engineering. Other projects examine the interplay between individuality and sociality, formulate the aesthetics of entropy, and develop a daimonology of cultural processes.
