He has exhibited internationally in Kwangju, MumbaI, New York and London.

His work for radio, Yurabirong, commissioned by The Listening Room, ABC Radio National, has been broadcast many times.
In 2000 Kreckler was awarded an Australia Council New Media Arts Fellowship. His work features in the collections of the Mitchell Research Library, Sydney, The Wesfarmers Collection, Art Bank and numerous private collections.
