Robin Deirkauf

Robin Deirkauf trained at Ateliers 63 in Haarlem and at Academie Artibus in Utrecht. In painting he developed a pictographic alphabet using basic forms and colours. He took the idea into an interactive installation in which visitors could turn their names into colour codes.

Deirkauf taught at the Interfaculty from 1989 to 2011. He developed courses in sensory interference and tactile interfaces and designed sets for collaborative projects including Promenoir van Mondriaan. In 2001 he began teaching in the Media Technology programme at Leiden University.
