— “AI is a tool that helps me sketch out my dreams. I want to be a part of the future, not of the past.”

Marius Jopen has a solid creative presence in the field of AI. His work merges traditional design with technological innovation. From the onset of his career, Marius strongly represents designers expanding their field of activity. His work is diverse and unites various disciplines, ranging from graphic design to charitable strategies, independent cinema production, logos, and exhibition design. With a signature style that constantly oscillates between cheeky, lovely, uncomfortable, ironic, unpolished, and intelligent observations, he reflects the broad possibilities of a modern visual artist. He has taught himself many techniques throughout his career, embodying an autodidactic spirit through which he continues to pave the way. He continues to explore emerging technologies and share his AI and Creative Code knowledge with others. 

Since graduating from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 2014, Marius Jopen has established/built a considerable portfolio in which he blends his skills as a graphic designer, visual artist, AI explorer, and educator. Marius was ahead of the curve of designers adopting other roles. He is co-director of web-development studio 100k and produces independent sci-fi and ghost movies (including the critically acclaimed Spacebirth2). His early daily poster series adopts a journalistic guise, illustrating news with raw words and image jokes. Jopen has also worked for clients including Marvel, Burberry, Black Mirror, and Hypebeast. On top of teaching in the field of AI, he also actively collaborates with musicians, both to create AI-enhanced music videos that offer a fresh take on the genre and as a VJ (video jockey). He is co-founder of the Love Foundation, a network of activists and artists who collectively generate money for social projects through organising various activities.
