DAVID VAN EYSSEN Chief Creative Officer, EMOTIV XR

David is a recognized pioneer in new forms of art and entertainment. He was among the first to create high-quality, and critically acclaimed, dramatic series for the web, balancing the craft of filmmaking with the communications requirements of global brands. His diverse background as a painter, commercial and creative director, video games designer, series creator, writer-director-producer and, most recently, as a digital artist, informs a lifelong fascination with interactivity and storytelling. Working at the bleeding edge of expression and technology, he is currently developing a large-scale art installation for XR platforms, evolving a new visual grammar that merges volumetric and linear media with game theory. David’s installation work can be seen in Mirror:Mirror, published by Thames & Hudson in 2023.
