About the artwork

Unfolding Being is a interactive digital artwork, created through a collaboration between artist Stefan Venbroek and software developer Vadim Lobanov. Together they developed custom-made software. Venbroek selected portrait fragments from more than 1500 of his drawings and paintings. These fragments, color fields and (moving) structures, are continuously recombined by the software into unique compositions, resulting in an endless variety of outcomes. Thanks to a sensor that detects (hand) movements, the work is interactive. The viewer can control and influence the portrait, creating a captivating interplay between art, technology, and human interaction.

The creators

Stefan Venbroek is a visual artist and animator who combines traditional art techniques with digital technology. Educated in Design at HKU Utrecht and graphic techniques in Kraków, he creates figurative drawings, paintings, animations, and public artworks inspired by everyday life and dreamlike imagery. His process digitizes handmade works to animate them, blending analogue and digital methods into vivid visual narratives. He has collaborated with MTV Europe, produced animations for museums and exhibitions (including CODA Museum and the Groninger Museum), and contributed with his animations to the documentary Anak Indie.

Vadim Lobanov is a developer and creative technologist from Siberia, now based in Berlin. Fascinated by computers since childhood, he wrote his first graphics engine at 13 and later studied physics before moving into software engineering and entrepreneurship. His work centers on graphics, interaction, and building systems that empower artists—creating tools and interactive artworks that expand what’s possible and often surprise even him with unexpected beauty.
