My full name Jeroen Diederik Stout, I'm a graphical and interactive artist, with endavours in other arts such as performing and writing for theatre, poetry, short story writing, music composition, computer programming and philosophy.

Learning to understand games I currently am a student at the Utrecht School of the Arts in the Netherlands, where I read Game-Design and Development. My interest with games is dual; I desire to make simple games of a unique, aesthetic property - and at the same time I am growing fascinated with the application of interactivity to create stronger, more evocative works, where the player is more actively involved in the narrative: may it one day be not Winston who bows before Big Brother, but the player himself?

In my modern work I search for the aesthetic, the exorbitant, craftmanship and the philosophical, which I see as the highest virtues in art.
