Dirk Vekemans

born in 1962 in Lier, Belgium. studied filology at Louvain, Belgium.worked a lot in bars and restaurants before i became obsessivly addicted to producing stuff on computers.i once won a design contest of cgi-magazine and they let me go to New York for four days, that was nice.i think in terms of writing mostly (or programming, but those are very similar processes for me)painting is a very different process and i'm very bad at it but i do it anyway because i like the differences it produces and i like the freshness of amateurism, i guess.what i produce new media-wise is also very much influenced by my daily practice of webdesign and programming with its concerns of usability and the pragmatic approach it implies.
