He also initiated the Festival of Light and Shadow and co-founded Multifestival (Children's Festival) in Banská Bystrica.

His creative portfolio spans over 50 works since 2006, including Brainwashing Mixtape (2015) and StructScan II (2014). He employs found footage techniques and explores themes like war critique, perception, and intimacy. His curatorial activities expand into light art festivals, including the 2026 European Capital of Culture project in Trenčín.
