new media artist

Short CV

Petros Vrellis was born in Greece in 1974. He holds a MEng in Electrical Engineering and a MA in Art Sciences. He has been working as an engineering project manager in his native Greece since 1999.

As computer sciences open up new ways of expression, he tries to combine his technological background with arts by exploring the potential of new media through digital art and interactive installations. He considers himself more of a "toy-inventor" than an artist; he believes that the most important thing is to find new ways to "play" by experimenting and even by breaking the rules.

The main tools for his work are computers, programming languages (c++ and especially the "openframeworks" open source toolkit) and electronics (cameras, microcontrollers,  e.t.c.)
