Matthias Oostrik works at the intersection of digital art, installation art, film and architecture. His artworks establish unpredictable relationships between people and their surroundings. Using digital technology, his installations respond to visitors with transforming light, video, or sound, enabling visitors to reshape their environment. Matthias Oostrik collaborates with renowned performance artists, neuroscientists, engineers and, crucially, his audience, who often become an integral part of his award-winning work:

From the poetical:
Blending human expression and algorithms into visual landscapes.

Past the irrational:
Inverting surveillance technology to activate audiences.

To the impossible:
Using EEG brainwave devices to create intimacy.
