Matthias Oostrik is an artist and freelancer in the field of Visual Interaction Design. His career started @ the filmschool in Amsterdam, where he was trained to be a bridge between video-art and technology.
After finishing his studies in 2004 he continued exploring the realm of Interactive Installations, with a strong focus on human presence. He has a strong believe in the power of human vanity as a starting point for an interactive dialogue. Most of his installations respond to human presence and explore the relationships between the real and virtual world through means of the human body. |
