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.
Directly for: Founders, VCs, Angel Investors & Creative Agencies
If your project is stuck or your team is caught in a linear development loop, I perform a deep system reality check. Built specifically for founders, venture capitalists, and agency leads, this sparring audits prototypes for actual technological depth and network stability. I inject non-linear logic to untangle gridlocked setups and clear a straight path for true interactivity before you commit capital or waste months in production. Operating as an external consultant, all advisory sessions are conducted under strict NDAs to guarantee absolute discretion for your intellectual property.
Directly for: Corporate R&D Units, Innovation Labs & Bold Brands
When conventional engineering hits a wall, I bring playful problem-solving to complex technical bottlenecks. Tailored for corporate R&D teams and forward-thinking brands who need to touch the future today, you hand me your toughest technical challenge. I develop it into a functional, radical proof-of-concept using a seamless fusion of custom hardware, AI agents, and game engines. All proprietary corporate R&D is handled with the highest level of confidentiality.
Directly for: Museums, Galleries, Cultural Institutions, Festivals & Curators
I conceptualize and build entire interactive installations designed specifically for curators, festival directors, and museum spaces. From real-time Unreal Engine 5 systems driven by AI body tracking to experimental biosensor interfaces, I connect code and human nature. Every space is engineered for absolute resilience, creating experiences that trigger immediate fascination while flawlessly enduring massive public traffic.
I fundamentally work and think playfully. My passion lies in creatively interconnecting the digital and physical worlds. Whether Artificial Intelligence, Game Engines, Neuro-sensors, or Custom Hardware—I view technology on a deep system level.
Operating on a meta-level, I belong to the few who grasp complex structures holistically. I read code, understand architecture, and orchestrate seamless communication within complex setups.
But that is merely the craft. 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, mediated by the system.
I know and master the complete workflow for creating digital and physical interactive worlds. I am not limited by a single tool; I choose the instrument the system demands.

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.
