  1. Paul Braam MSc.
    Founder of DIGIFiT and VirtuaGym.com

    education
    • Master of Science in Computer Science, VU University Amsterdam
    • Master of Science in Business Studies, University of Amsterdam

    When I finished my Master in Computer Science I started to work as a Business Analyst for a cool company named Everest(www.everest.nl) that utilizes knowledge systems to build complex and agile e-business solutions for financial institutions. Soon I got promoted, and I became project leader of a big development project. After 2 years of working I decided to quit and together with my business partner I started a new company named DIGIFiT, see www.digifit.eu. With DIGIFiT we develop new applications in wellness like VirtuaGym.com, which is a cross media(internet, mobile, gaming) platform, that focuses on motivating people to change to, or keep up with, a healthy lifestyle. My current work is really diverse: business, creativity, and technical knowledge all come together.

    comment(s)

     I started out as a lawyer in the field of intellectual property law, advising (creative and pharmaceutical) companies on how to protect their products. I always felt that it would be cooler to actually be part of the creative process, instead of "just" being advisor on the sideline. That's what I'm doing right now and it has definitely lived up to my expectations.

    description -- from TOP100

     Sander Veenhof combines marketing concepts with artistic detours, disguises sophisticated hi-tech concepts with low-tech looks, unites virtual and physical spaces and mixes digital logic and control with dynamic, organic processes.

    Although new media is the origin of most of his projects, often incorporating online functionality, Veenhof's main focus is connecting new media to our physical space. Interactivity is key in his work, even when an audience isn't aware of the bigger picture and can't even choose -not- to participate. He creates installations that express website statistics by plant growth, had a crowd browse YouTube videos by performing or showing objects in front of a camera, and he created meet-and-greet opportunities for people and virtual world avatars.The concepts Sander realises aim to be new, remarkable, provoking or fun; reflecting issues in our current and future online and offline society.

    Veenhof works as an all-round freelancer, sometimes in cooperation with companies, organisations or festivals, either on request or because of his own urgency to present some specific concept at a specific spot.

    In July 2009 Sander Veenhof graduated from the Instable Media department of the Rietveld Academy. Before that, he was awarded a degree in Business Computer Science at the VU University Amsterdam. A contrasting but valuable combination and exemplary of his fascination for bridging seemingly incompatible worlds.
