Saskia Freeke

Saskia is an artist, creative coder, interaction designer, visual designer and educator. My work focuses on structure, geometry and playfulness. A big part of her artistic practice is her ongoing daily art project that I started January 2015. Saskia explores and experiments with generative patterns and animations daily. You can follow her daily art on Tumblr, Ello, Twitter or Instagram. Saskia creates both digital and physical works. From her daily digital artworks Saskia explores ways to make work physical with the use of digital fabrication. You can think of laser cut structures from wood, laser cut paper and printed designs. Besides these graphical artworks, Saskia is interested in creating novel, tangible interfaces. Her research focuses on the cultural aspect of the interface, on the space between the human and the machine. Saskia is interested in exploring the affect of what certain interactions and interfaces have, both on the human and the machine. The goal is to create interactive installations that engage the user in playful ways to let them explore the machine and see the technology we are using daily in a different way. Saskia Freeke has been a lecturer in Physical Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London and taught in visual design and supervised student projects at the University of the Arts Utrecht School for Games and Interaction. At the moment she works on her own artistic practise and as a freelance interaction, visual designer and educator. Saskia is working on digital an physical projects, web and/or print, visual and interaction design, brand design, interactive product design, playful interactions. As well as organising events, giving workshops and talks in creative coding and interactive design.
