Wim Vanhenden
Born in the late seventies, Wim Vanhenden is a child of the first generation that grows up with a personal computer in the living room. He was raised in a creative family: his father owned an art gallery and teaches painting, his mother is a ceramic artist and his sister is a graphic designer, he himself has always been more attracted to computers than to a painter's canvas. In the mid eighties he started drawing his first experiments in BASIC on his Tandy TRS-80 Coco II home computer. From that moment onwards, life without computers is unthinkable for him. Wim Vanhenden has exhibted former installations like ‘We Are The World’, ‘The Interpretor’and more at Bozar, Cimatic Festival, Actionfields gallery and Zebrastraat Gent where he was featured as artist of the month. Some of his work has been featured in publications by Taschen, Focus Knack and Elle Magazine.
