Digital art & software development
Tim Lehmann
Born 1997 in Brandenburg an der Havel
As a creative coder, my main focus is on building bridges between the media and programming. Interactive applications can be used in many different ways: Content generation tools with digital twins, video games for entertainment, immersive AR & VR content for educational and entertainment purposes, algorithmic and generative art. The possibilities are endless.
I was already interested in art, be it photography or music, as a child. When I was at school, I learned to play the keyboard and piano at a music school and also began to compose my own music. I taught myself photography. Computer games also accompanied me in my childhood, which also awakened my general interest in computers. That’s why I started a Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Science at Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences. To further deepen my knowledge, I decided to complete a Master’s degree in Digital Media.
In my free time, I work with other creative minds on the realization of artistic projects or implement my own ideas.
