Daan Roosegaarde
Het werk van ontwerper en kunstenaar Daan Roosegaarde intrigeert door de verwevenheid van technologie en ontroering, schoonheid en nut. Het zet aan tot het in vraag stellen van het vanzelfsprekende. Uit een interview:
"I always had that desire to create things that make people aware of their body and relationship with themselves. I miss that a lot, that poetic notion of life. There is a growing sentiment of fear with regard to technology dominating us, however, I am more scared about the little robot in ourselves that we cultivate. So if I can create environments which trigger a different side to people and offer a different perspective which they are not normally accustomed to, that’s good. So my work is more about stimulating imagination and developing innovation. It is more about exploring new worlds, rather than facilitating things, that’s why we called it ‘techno poetry’."
