Jacco Kooistra is an artist with a background in VFX and Immersive Media from the Netherlands Film Academy. His practice sits between technology, visual storytelling, and environmental awareness, often focusing on how we reconnect to the natural world through mediated experiences.
Jacco Kooistra is an artist working in immersive media, creating experiences that evoke a sense of wonder, reflection, and awareness through digital environments. A recurring theme in his work is the relationship between humans and nature, and how people often position themselves as separate from other forms of life.
He is fascinated by the complexity of natural environments and the feeling of being part of something much larger than oneself.
Much of his inspiration comes from spending time in nature, observing patterns, movement, scale, and the quiet intelligence that exists within ecosystems. Through his work, he translates this fascination into experiences that encourage audiences to reflect on their connection to the natural world and reconsider the boundaries between nature, technology, and human perception.
