FraggedReality is a developer who has been working as a software professional since graduation.

As he said he never felt the creative urge to bring an artistic project of his own to life, but he has always been attracted by the artistic process and really enjoyed enabling art where it gets more technical.

Connecting art and code produces amazing results, in FraggedReality’s jobs we can see how he can connect art with his passion at different levels; working in an agency for print (especially fair-booths) or on encrypted smartphones for governmental use.

Co-creation of a software for an interactive sculpture (>15meters in height) to display ads for a car-brand.

“I think especially software augments the traditional arts in so many ways that it will only evolve further and further. It allows for dynamics and interaction between art-piece and recipients in uncounted ways, which is just exciting”.

Besides his day-job he focuses most on broadening his understanding of the blockchain technology by doing researches and building new tools around it. This allows him to think of new use-cases and have first-hand knowledge at hand if some goal needs to be achieved.
