Ingmar König
Spatial Interaction Developer

I create spatial experiences through physical installations and digital interfaces that examine how we navigate and perceive unfamiliar environments.



I started building spatial installations during my BFA at Utrecht University of the Arts. Over time, I became interested in how minimal an installation could be while remaining immersive. When i did my MA in Interior Architecture at the Piet Zwart Institute, I explored spatiality cleared from materiality, graduating with a 20-minute animation written in code, weighing less than a single megabyte.


For the past five years, I've been developing my work primarily with game engines and 3D modelling software. I lectured at the Willem de Kooning Academy, collaborate with Jasmijn Visser on The Weather Has Been Cancelled, and am currently developing Detourist.
