Daan Roosegaarde at Tedx Conference

Dutch artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde will give a lecture at the fourth TEDxReset conference to be held in Istanbul on the 12th and 13th of April. Roosegaarde is a trendsetter in the innovative movement known as New Dutch Digital Design, a group of artists who explore the boundary between the human and the computer. One characteristic work is Dune, an interactive dune landscape consisting of hundreds of LEDs. Lotus 7.0, which he recently presented in Paris, is a living wall; when visitors approach the installation, their body heat opens hundreds of foil blossoms. ‘We are at the dawn of a new nature,’ Roosegaarde says.
