László Zsolt Bordos is a 3D artist living in Budapest, Hungary. In late 2000 he started performing as a VJ in the city’s underground party culture. Through his early 3D-VJing activities (2001-2004), his use of huge architectural slide projections (2002-2005) and his outrageous video projections and 3D mapping projects (2006-present), he has become a pioneer of the genre. He has been collaborating with other artists since 2010 using the name Bordos.ArtWorks for these projects, a name which has become internationally recognised as one of the leading video projection mapping creative teams. Since 2014 Bordos has focussed on solo art projects, installations, and architectural and scenery projections for theatre and opera productions.

The Dutch arts organisation, Oddstream focuses on art forms at the intersection of visual art, design and technology. Its main goal is to showcase media art (digital culture, art & technology, digital art and design) to mainstream audiences without losing the autonomy of the artist or artistic quality. Oddstream began as a festival a decade ago but has developed into a production house for technological art, and organises an extensive number of activities throughout the year. For example, the Oddstream Agency produces new works of art with artists (which include interactive installations and multimedia productions for businesses, museums and exhibitions as well as videomapping shows) and acts as a booking agency for existing artworks for events. Another expansion is the unique educational programme which brings art and technology into classrooms, courses and events. However, its biannual exhibition remains the main focus of its activities and programmes.
