About

I am Oussama Mubarak, a freelance creative coder, researcher, and Full-Stack web developer based in Karlsruhe, Germany with over 20 years of experience in designing and developing generative and interactive media and web applications in collaboration with internationally renowned artists, creative agencies and cultural institutions.

I have also obtained in 2018 a PhD in computer science from Cnam (the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts, Paris) in partnership with EnsadLab (the research laboratory of the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs - PSL Research University, Paris). My thesis explored art installations that enable co-located interactions, focusing on the conditions – whether spacial, material, or human – which affect the ability for participants to co-construct a common aesthetic experience in the absence of orchestration or a preannounced goal to be achieved, and proposes a set of tools and guidelines when designing such installations.

My main interests include digital art, interaction and interface design, sustainability, and technology.

For more information, please refer to my curriculum vitae.
