I have always been interested in generated visual systems.
I love to see how a spectacle evolves as the code develops, but I am even more fascinated when the system spreads out to the 3rd dimension, to our real space.
Whether it is a screen, a projection, or an artifact - I am really interested in involving the audience, letting them trigger the system.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I have danced with a Icelandic girl. She was :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Being a researcher at KIBU for four years, I realized how important it is not only to learn from others but to share my knowledge; I also participated in numerous workshops and I also held several in Flash + ActionScript 3 (for example how to design small games).
One of the best learning scenario for me is when some people randomly come together and through an intensive brainstorming they come up with an idea that will be immediately developed and realized (at KIBU, we call it single-afternoon hacks). For example, to build a robot from two broken printers, or to learn html 5. During these quick projects we have to integrate our knowledge in the most useful and spontaneous ways. It is sometimes very difficult, but it is always worth it!
