Bart Arts
TouchDesigner
A true TWOFIFTYK nerd, who treats a show like a living system. Bart joined the TWOFIFTYK team 2.5 years ago and immediately started pushing past the obvious. While others tweak visuals, he redesigns the logic underneath them. Light, video, laser, motion - to Bart, it’s all one connected language. Working mainly in TouchDesigner, he builds reactive systems where everything talks to everything else. Nothing standalone or accidental. He creates clean structure and flow that feels effortless (even when it absolutely isn’t). His magic tricks are in the tools he creates: all modular, flexible, built to evolve. Systems that help the whole team work smarter, faster, and better.
From Defqon.1 to Lowlands, A State of Trance to Awakenings, and artists like Armin van Buuren, Bart’s work runs under some of the biggest shows out there, while leaving the audience wondering: “how on Earth did they do that??”. So that’s Bart: technically sharp, happily nerdy, and always optimizing the system.
