Hi, my name is Matthijs van Henten and this is my personal website. It’s a record of some of the things I have been doing over the last couple of years.
I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, together with my small family, Finn and Silke.
My primary interests are Open source software, video and media art, and I’m always looking for connections between the three. Most of the projects on this site are related to these subjects.
1979 I was born in a blizzard, which is an extraordinary thing to happen in The Netherlands, especially in March… ( fast forward)… 1999 After finishing high-school in my home town, I moved to Enschede, a small city close to the German border to study Art
2004, I graduated at the media art department of the AKI, Academy of Arts and Design in Enschede. I moved to Amsterdam, and september 2004 I enrolled in the University of Leiden to start a Msc. in Media Technology.
2006, I started my own business. In 2007, I became a Dad and started working for 1Site1, a webdevelopment company I had been doing a lot of business with. At the end of 2007, I quit studying realizing I had way too much other things to be concerned with
From 1Site1, I moved on to work for a fantastic company called Fabchannel in 2008. Unfortunately, Fabchannel is no more, finishing business in may 2009. It was a real F* thing to happen, but someting good came out of it for me: I found a job at one of the places I had wanted to work for since Art school, Waag Society.
In the end of 2009, I enrolled at the University again, knowing I had the support of my family and job, to finally finish Mediatechnology.
