upcoming & ongoing


Hi, I am Matthias Fritsch and work as a film maker and visual artist. I guess I am most known as the originator of the Technoviking video. Besides creating moving images I also organize cultural events, teach workshops and publish a newsletter. This website documents a wide variety of my art.

For the last years I am researching a lot about circles of matter and biological processes. Since 2020, I have been investing much of my work in building a large forest garden near Berlin. Besides this I experiment with every days practices which I hope can work for everybody. My goal is to find a lifestyle that decreases the individual environmental impact. Also I want to find a way to keep nutrients in cities. Since most people all over the world live in cities, why not start building up fertile soil in urban areas, grow more food in cities and shorten the transport?!

If you click >>> HERE <<<, you get a chronological overview of the last years.

Since I believe in free access to culture my latest documentary film "The Story of Technoviking" is available online free for all in a 50min edit.
The story in short: After my film Kneecam No.1 aka Technoviking became one of the first viral videos on YouTube, I was sued and ended up in a long and costly legal dispute where old intellectual property laws collided with contemporary sharing culture.
The film reached more than a million clicks. Unfortunately a million of free clicks can't buy me food nor pay my rent – IN CASE YOU WATCH MY FILM PLEASE SUPPORT ME IN RETURN (click here for options)















The Poetry-Film FM-Biography was produced silent and offered to different musicians to create an audiolayer. How the different soundtracks can influence the same film can be seen here:

How can we contribute to soil fertility if we do not have our own garden in the city? Matthias Fritsch has been researching how food can be saved and upgraded through fermentation for several years with the Denkwerkstadt Nahrungswandel. The knowledge of fermentation processes is also helpful in the production of humus and makes the purchase of potting soil superfluous, as fertile humus can be produced in one's own four walls without much effort and expense.
