WHO WE ARE | CORE PERSONS

The interactive arts mediennetzwerk is a union of creators. We have known each other since our studies at the University of Applied Sciences, Dortmund, Germany. Some of us stayed in this prospering, constantly developing area, others moved to Berlin, Hamburg or elsewhere.

We are all currently running our own businesses, but in the past we shared our powers for various artistic tasks and we still do so. Our most demanding and creative missions are consolidated under the umbrella of the interactive arts mediennetzwerk.
