Felix Baßler

Hi! Based in Berlin, I maintain my own photo-artistic practice alongside my work in digitizing and archiving reflective and transmissive photographic materials for archives and cultural institutions like the Berlin State Library, Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. I am part of All-In-Awe. My work and research has recently been supported by the Bauhaus Fellowship at Klassik Stiftung Weimar (2025) and the Goethe-Institut India (2024), with recent international exhibitions in Sydney, Cairo, Bydgoszcz, Minneapolis, Zurich, and Berlin.
Selected Projects:

Image-to-text edge computing camera

2026 · Edge computing, custom build

This camera enables immediate analysis of image data right after capture via an integrated camera. Processing is handled entirely locally on the device, requiring no internet, cloud, or Wi-Fi connection for external tool calls, running on a hybrid architecture of qwen3-vl:2b-instruct for visual processing and Ministral 3:3B for language logic.
