A Berlin-based graphic designer with a keen sense of programming. Because this is a broad field and because I am enthusiastic about the project, I have been working on the ex nihilo project for quite some time: https://martinburckhardt.substack.com/

We're taught to see chaos as failure. But what if it's actually the space where something new begins?

In my work, I've learned that the most interesting solutions emerge not from pristine planning, but from the productive mess that happens when old systems break down

Vorher / Nachher - und das war der Prompt, der in QwenEdit den Unterschied macht: "make the walls, which already look like a processor, shine. This should affeact the overall lighting"
