BIO

My name is Benjamin and I graduated from HDK-Valand in June 2022. As an artist, I work with VR, new media, interactive art, and 3D, which allows me to create unique and innovative artworks that challenge the boundaries of what is possible in the art world. By using technology and new media, I am able to create works that give the audience a completely new experience and make them think in a different way. My works often explore different narratives and investigate how we can use technology and interactive elements to tell a story in a new way.
