About Me

Aspiring creative technologist. Curious about virtual reality lately, but really find myself interested in all kinds of awesome stuff. Including, but not limited to generative computer graphics, computational art, sound and lightning, storytelling.

I don't eat meat, but still eat fish from time to time, transitioning to be fully vegetarian in the future. Love vegetarian cooking!

In my free time, I love to work on some weird ass art projects, take long walks exploring or ride my bike, go out with friends, learn new skills, play basketball or just watch a new movie!

Not at all keen on sexism, racism, homophobia in any form or shape.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To leave my comfort zone, get out there, meet new people, exchange knowledge, skills, help others and just have a good time.

Interests

I like to explore contemporary art, as well as trying my own little experiments sometimes. I'm especially interested in use of virtual reality, computing, interdisciplinary works and installations.
I enjoy going to exhibitions as well, to learn more about modern art, artists, history of different works and schools.

Love cooking and experimenting in kitchen, while learning new recipes. Although there is a long way to go for my cooking skills, I don't plan on stopping any time soon.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately lo-fi, indie folk/rock/pop music, but also psychedelic rock, as well as some electro-cabaret, techno, there is no limit to it really.
I love discovering and sharing music with other people.

Same goes for cinema, although I'm very far from being any sort of expert in the area, still discovering and watching new movies, across genres and directors gets me excited!
Few favorites: Being John Malkovich, American Beauty, Dazed and Confused, Bicycle Thieves, Youth.

As for books, I really love
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams
Although, I mostly read a lot of non-fiction, and the book I would recommend is:
"Design for the Real World" by Victor Papanek

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to have discussions on modern and contemporary art, movies and directors!
