Richard Vijgen is an independent designer and programmer. In 2009 he founded Studio Richard Vijgen, a design company for contemporary information culture. Richard is interested in new strategies for looking for stories contained in large data sets. Although his work is embedded in the digital domain, he is always on the lookout for links with physical or social spaces. His designs, interactive installations and visualisations vary in scale from the microscopic to architectonic constellations, and his clients are equally diverse. He currently teaches information design and interactive architecture at the ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem. The first commission for New Archive Interpretations was made in connection with Het Nieuwe Instituut’s Structuralism exhibition.
