[10] He revealed a virtual installation Rock Strangers (2011)[11] on the Statue of Liberty in New York City on the 4th of July in collaboration with Beck's[12] for their Green Box Project.

Quinze's artwork references social interaction, evolution, communication, rhythm, and the interplay of lines, contrasts and contradictions.

During Hamburg Artweek (2011)[16] Quinze revealed new work using smashed old porcelain, meant to symbolize the destruction of family traditions.
