Dr. Jens M. Stober // Media Artist & PhD in Creative Media
Specialist for Creative Technology & Interactive Realities
My work is rooted in media art and the joy of creation. Creativity is intelligence having fun.
Driven by non-linear thinking, I playfully create subversive media art and bridge the gap between digital logic and physical reality. I provide systemic tech advisory for VCs and angel investors, experimental prototyping for brands, and robust interactive installations for cultural spaces.

My work is rooted in media art and the joy of creation.
This is the foundation of everything I do. I bridge the gap between digital logic and physical reality through non-linear thinking. I don't follow rigid playbooks; I dissolve complex technical bottlenecks through playful problem-solving and experimental engineering to transform ideas into tangible, interactive experiences.

I fundamentally work and think playfully. As a non-linear thinker, I do not follow standard playbooks. I operate outside predictable logic, approaching challenges from a purely artistic perspective. By reframing problems and spotting patterns differently, I discover unconventional, out-of-the-box solutions.
Whether working with Game Engines, Neuro-sensors, or Custom Hardware, I explore technology on a deep system level. I possess a systemic understanding that allows me to grasp complex structures holistically and see how every component communicates within a vast network. I use AI as a tactical, highly precise instrument, not as an inflationary buzzword or a lazy fix for flawed concepts. I read code and can precisely communicate with programmers or machine learning models to execute my creative vision and ensure a flawless setup.
My true drive is the joy of creation. I reshape technologies to build Immersive Experiences that trigger fascination and feel like genuine magic. I construct unexpected interactions: between human and machine, nature and AI, or human and nature, mediated by the system.
