Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Zuiderveld is a multidisciplinary creative director, researcher, and engineer with eight years of experience at the intersection of generative AI, cognitive science, and embodied art. He has led machine learning teams building speech-to-intent systems and production LLM deployments while also transforming algorithms into tactile installations that make abstract technologies feel personified. His work—recognized with an Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica—has been presented globally and often repurposes everyday objects (coffee machines, photocopiers, vintage electronics) to provoke ethical and phenomenological reflection on AI. Equally at home teaching LLMs to art students as he is optimizing on-device speech systems, Jan blends rigorous academic training (Physics, EE, Neuropsychology, AI, ArtScience) with hands-on engineering. He’s noted for exploring “technological animism,” arguing that embodied encounters reveal forms of understanding that theory alone cannot.
