"Train Ride to Luxor" is a series of paintings recalling a segment of a 5 month journey through Southern Europe, the Middle East and Egypt. These paintings refer to the experience of traveling in a train from Cairo to Luxor.
This series is focusing on the view out of a window on a moving train in the heat of the midday sun.
OFL is part of the evolving "traces of times past" multidisciplinary art project and belongs to a work cycle of paintings reusing and recycling found material. The series is about the barely visible, absence of form, the void, silence, detachment, the unpredicted, the accidental outcome and the process of change.
Tweetopia are data-scrolls, documenting the passing of time, through minute changes in a fixed structure, using data from the evolving DiGi-FLiP project @jtwinedotcom on the micro-blogging site Twitter over the course of three years from 2012 to 2015. Tweetopia is available in three versions either lasting one hour, one minute, or one second. - Tweetopia exhibition at Galerie Marek Kralewski Freiburg, Germany. Text by Hans Dieter Fronz

UHD is a html game junky parody project
in 3 variations.
UHD is a browser based interactive split-screen audiovisual remix and
color-composition-game using web-works and animations by jtwine.com.
UHD is an overdosing project, a critical reflection on the severely
irritating advertisement bombardments of commercial pseudo-informative
super flashy waste of time- and commercial social-networking and
data-mining sites.
UHD is commenting on the cruelties of wars, on global warming, anarchy
and on the capitalistic-prosumeristic everything turns into stupid
gain-game-behavior that leads to nothing but maximum
exploitation. UHD is a click till you die color-noise game with
no aim.
DEADplanetFINE*, is an Orwellian web 1.0 retro-renaissance remixology project consisting of looped animated mouseover gif-film-crawls. DEADplanetFINE*, are animated acid humorous social-commentary-line-drawings interwoven with abstract blink-scrolls, that reflect on the nightmarish state of the world. This animation project shows humanity at its worst, as a multinational power hungry out of whack species, recklessly, overpopulating, exploiting and destroying it self and its environment. Depending on the movement of the mouse the animations take on various speeds and directions of motion. The project allows the viewer to interact with the animations and trigger the various loops. DEADplanetFINE*, uses a poly linguistic sound blur drone.

Skins
Acrylic paintings on Collage
“Skins” presents Trautwein’s recent body of monochromatic acrylic
paintings, constructed on geometrically ordered collages on
letter-sized paper. The collages are made from ‘time-sheets,’ a
collection of unwanted drawings, paintings, prints, sketches, notes,
flyers, form-letters. These materials are created and saved by the
artist over time, the personal content of which spans about 20 years.
Trautwein joins together these time sheets, which he works on from both
sides, in an intuitive process which allows for accidental fusions of
various moments in time, and preserves the provisional nature of the
recycled elements. Trautwein consolidates several years of information,
scattered experiences and thoughts into physical objects which
transcend the notion of content, and confront the viewer in an
immediate, material and bodily mode.- SKINS at gallery 60six in San

selected drawings
Trautwein’s drawings are raw thought;
Drawing is to him like breathing out the human folly .
Trautwein usually draws on industrially mass- produced paper in the
letter- size format, a paper size on which most
mainstream-everyday-information is written, printed and copied on.
Trautwein’s drawings come in series, mostly targeting contemporary
issues - if not repetitive, meditative and abstract, he draws in a
psychically spontaneous manner without knowing where the pen is leading
him. He literally spits them out minute after minute, one after
another, until the flow lasts. The hand that holds the pen has hit and
finished the drawing before the mind starts to form a new idea, and at
the end he doesn’t know who executed the drawing the hand or the mind.
