Mathias Paumgarten is a creative developer from Austria. He is currently living and working in Santa Monica, California.

Starting with a background in Flash development, Mathias found his passion for code-driven animation at a very young age. Over the years while working for and at several agencies he has broadened his skillset by leaving the web platform and working on installations using low-level languages such as C/C++.

After graduating with a Bachelor's degree at the University of Applied Sciences, Salzburg, Austria, he decided to leave Austria while focusing on modern web technologies such as HTML5 and JavaScript, currently working as a frontend JavaScript developer.

Mathias has worked for several renowned agencies such as B-Reel, Soap Creative, and Firstborn working on projects for Sony, Fox Entertainment, Pepsi Co., and many more.

After receiving recognitions such as FWA and other awards, Mathias has also contributed to publications such as HTML5 Games Most Wanted.

Tim Pulver is an interaction design student from Potsdam, Germany. As a teenager he was fascinated by the demo scene and how people were able to transform code into something beautiful. He now uses Processing, openFrameworks, and Arduino to create interactive installations, data-visualizations, and user-interface prototypes.

One of his recent projects is interactive fulldome data visualization, where users can playfully explore global crop production.

In another project, Tim wrote a program that translated an image of an eye based on its structure into unique jewelry, which was printed out using a 3D printer.

He likes the idea of sharing and free culture. In 2011, he founded the electronic music netlabel Yarn Audio, which supports sharing and remixing of released music. All the cover artwork for this netlabel has been generated using custom made tools, too. You can contact him at http://www.timpulver.de.
