Media Art Research Development and Design. About robin, founder of RSS.
Robin Gareus graduated in 2002 in Physics at the University of Heidelberg,Germany and CERN, Switzerland after which he worked for two years as an engineer at Berkeley-Lab, California before switching to Multi-Media/FLOSS R&D in 2005, relocating to Amsterdam, NL.
His professional experience since then ranges from consulting to hardware/software co-development, focusing on Research & Development for installation-art, life and open-web standards. Amongst others places, Robin worked or did freelance work at the Netherlands Institute for New Media Art, Mediamatic, the picnic.nl conference, V2 Lab, Kunst-Univesitaet Linz and the San Francisco Art Institute. Robin is technical-director for various sound and film-productions and involved in 64studio and ardour. Joining the free-software-movement in the mid 90's, he became the author of the renowned GNU/Linux applications and is known in the FLOSS community for running the linuxaudio.org portal since 2005 as well as co-organizing the Linux Audio Conference since 2009.
Since March 2009 Robin teaches and engineers Media-Art at the CITU/ Paris 8 University, France where he emphasises on connected creation.
If you're interested in hiring me, email me about a PDF CV. Depending on your project I can arrange for, or recommend additional team members. Much of my code is available online, just have a look around here or at sourceforge. Since code is not everything..
As of 2011 I look back on over 14 Years of being on gnu/Linux. It's been a steep hill, but the view and possibilities up here are gorgeous.
I'm dreaming of a world where professional artistic creativity will be free of financial interest and dependencies. - surely you're grinning now - I'll retain a sad smile upon this Utopia and point to ongoing efforts instead: linuxaudio.org, blender.org and ardour.org.
To me Free Software (FLOSS) represents the railroad track of the 21 century. Analog to modern trains that have evolved beyond dreams of the 14th and 17th century railroad pioneers, postmodern software needs to rely on open standards in order to become self sustainable. The fact that the fastest engine of the day is commercial does not bother me too much as long as it can run on an open infrastructure.
I'm a pragmatic proponent of “Nimm's wie es kommt, aber sorge dafuer das es so kommt wie Du es nehmen willst..” - For the time being the best thing that could happen to me would be a larger atelier; but I won't say no to a copy of musimathics or a box of dark chocolate.
Besides I'm a huge fan of inline replies.
Push the boundaries of art by exploring the corner-cases of cutting edge technology.
