Jonas Vorwerk [nl]

Jonas Vorwerk was born on September 1st, 1978 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. After receiving training as a technical engineer, he became interaction designer at a webdesign company. After three years he went on to the Willem de Kooning academy for the arts and was introduced to interactive installation art.
Currently he refers to himself as interactionist, working in between autonomous art and the applied arts: ‘My goal is not to design the most visual attractive, or to develop an innovative product, but to provoke interaction.’ In the past year this approach has led to various projects, amongst them the Great Firewall of China and the audiovisual installation Lightbox Sequencer.
