Daan Roosegaarde is a young artist working in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts AKI in Enschede and the Berlage Institute, a Postgraduate Laboratory of Architecture in Rotterdam. Roosegaarde’s work explores the dynamic relation between architecture, people and new media. His sculptures are a collision of technology and the human body. In this interaction the sculptures create a situation where visitor and (public) space become one.
Roosegaarde’s projects have been shown at international exhibitions at V2, Netherlands Media Art Institute & 5th Triennale in Slovenia and published in Items, NRC Handelsblad and MARK magazine. In 2006 he launched Studio Roosegaarde, a laboratory | in which series of interactive artworks are created.
Specially for TodaysArt 2007 the interactive landscape Flow 5.0 is developed. Flow 5.0 is an interactive sculpture made out of hundreds of ventilators which are reacting to your sound and motion. By walking and interacting an illusive landscape of transparancies and artificial wind is created. Walking through Flow 5.0 in the white Cityhall of Den Hague the visitor becomes conscious of himself as a body, in a dynamic relation with space and technology.
