Media artist Geert Mul (b.1965) studied at the Academy of the Arts at Arnhem where he specialized in computer animation (1985 graduated 1990). Since 1993 Mul lives and works in Rotterdam, Holland.For almost 20 years now Mul has researched the possibilities of re-combining images from databases in video’s, prints and interactive installations. For these purposes Mul is continuously developing software: programs that generate a context related, endless and varying combination of images based on image properties such as content, structure, composition and color. In his recent research, Mul is developing a artistic perspective on ‘data mining’ and ‘data visualization’, resulting in both high-tech and low-tech artworks and interactive installations. Between 2003 and 2011 Mul has produced over fifteen commissioned interactive installations in public spaces including an permanent installation for the Netherlands Photo Museum.
