When Ritsche asked me to join RZM as a guest for a gig in the Ukraine, among other things I was up for it because I saw a good opportunity to combine Tagtooling with traditional painting. We already had made some steps into that direction, but this was different. Whereas before we had treated the painting surface more like a canvas for both analogue and digital painting, the work of RZM is focused on the whole space, and the movement within it.
