purposing technology
Intro: Andrej Boleslavský (SK/CZ) is an award-winning digital artist purposing technology in the fields of new media art, virtual reality, light installations and physical computing. He maintains a strong fascination with the entanglement of nature and technology. In his works, he explores the boundary between physical and digital. He has developed countless interactive installations and lectured on open source and creative coding tools. In addition to his work, he is actively involved as a technologist for other artists and interaction designers. Throughout the last few years, his collaborative works take inspiration from contemporary dance and digital technologies. By creating interactions between these two seemingly contradicting media they aim to create confusing yet artistically meaningful experiences.
