Daan Roosegaarde (born 1979 Nieuwkoop) is a Dutch artist and innovator. With his team of designers and engineers he has made several internationally acclaimed interactive artworks such as Dune, Intimacy 2.0, Lotus and Smart Highway.

Roosegaarde is involved in New Dutch Digital Design,[4] a collective of artists who explore the boundaries between humans and cyberspace.[5] One of his characteristic works is Dune, an interactive dune landscape consisting hundreds of LEDs. Next to Dune one of the main works is called Lotus 7.0. This piece of art had its premiere in Paris,[6] and represents a living wall. When approaching the installation, hundreds of flowers made out of smart foils blossom."We are at the dawn of a new nature, says Daan Roosegaarde.[5]

Pieces such as Dune and Smart Highway,[7] are tactile high-tech environments in which viewer and space become one. This connection, established between ideology and technology, results in what Roosegaarde calls “techno-poetry”.[8]

In this social design lab full of designers and engineers, the team constantly works on interactive designs that instinctively respond to sound and movement.
