Hi, I’m Tiemo!
I’m an inventor, designer & utopian with a passion for arts, science, languages and the human experience overall.
I was born in a small town in Germany and spend much of my early days reading any books I could find. My parents being classical musicians, I received a thorough musical education, playing the violin in various orchestras spanning multiple genres from Bach to Dream Theater.
When my first computer arrived, I quickly became a netizen and marveled at the sheer amount of information, collaboration and new experiences technology provides. I learned programming by myself and became absorbed in various projects, from games to experimental mathematics.
After school, my desire for understanding the bedrock of human existence, which was only empowered by antique philosophy, led me to studies in Mathematics, Cognitive Science and Computer Science, obtaining a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Tübingen. During my studies I was involved in student politics and elected for various student offices. My goal was always to democratize university politics, involving as many diverse opinions in the decision making process as possible.
I am always working on various projects regarding mathematics, philosophy, linguistics and music theory. Iconlang is the first project I decided to publish with hopefully much more to come.
The idea for Iconlang came when I was learning Japanese during the pandemic. Being confined to my house I escaped the situation by taking online classes and talking to Japanese friends over the internet. I have always had a fascination for both the Japanese and the Chinese cultures and their convoluted but beautiful writing systems. Having understood the principles of the Japanese language and Chinese characters I saw the common thread connecting all languages I knew and turned it into a common language – Iconlang.
As a modern humanist I believe in the power of humanity to find truth in discussion, peace in freedom and prosperity in collaboration. Modern technology is a gift, which we should use to shake off the shackles of ignorance and convention to unleash the true potential of our existence.
We may even have fun doing so. 😉
