131. Stijn Belle Netherlands
Stijn Belle (the Netherlands, 1983) graduated as an industrial designer at the Technical University Eindhoven in 2005 with a project about autism in machines. After working two years as a designer of corporate structures he enrolled in a Masters of Media Technology at Leiden University. He's planned to graduate in 2001 with a project on machines that become human, and humans who become machine. Perhaps it's not very important of you call Belle an artist, designer, or inventor. His work deals with the difficult relation between man and machine - a relation that is strained and tested continuously in this technocratic world. And this concerns both the artist and the inventor.

152. Wouter Van den Broeck Belgian ISI Foundation http://www.addith.be
Wouter always entertained an interest in the obscure yet inspiring borderland where art, science and technology meet. At the onset of his professional career in the early nineties he, however, decided to concentrate on the intersection of art and technology. The design and development of the visual and interactive aspects of digital media projects became his trade. He founded and ran his own new-media design studio for many years and participated in various artistic projects. Coinciding with the steadily expansion of his interaction design undertakings, Wouter gradually developed a fascination for the art of programming. By the dawn of the new millennium, he decided to put his professional career on hold and pursue a Master in Computer Science at the Free University in Brussels. Or in other words: after nearly a decade of traveling the frontier of art and technology, it had become time to refocus on science and technology. After obtaining his formal degree, Wouter joined the language team at the Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris. His research there primarily dealt with the representation, interpretation and conceptualization of meaning by artificial agents with emergent language skills. In 2008 Wouter seized the opportunity to join a team of top-notch physicists interested in complex networks at the ISI Foundation in Turin, Italy. It was here that his diverse interests and hitherto acquired skills converged, as the design and development of dynamic visualizations of complex phenomena became his specialty, and he increasingly journeyed other parts of that borderland where art, science and technology meet.
