Jonathan Apelbaum was born in Glasgow in 1992 from French Algerian and French Polish parents. He grew up in a Parisian suburb as the eldest of four children. In 2014 Jonathan graduated in mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Berlin in 2017. Jonathan’s artistic career started in earnest in 2018. His creations, which he refers to as ‘installations’ are at the basis, paintings in their traditional forms. They are however complemented by light effects and some of the creations include sounds and motion sensors and adopt the light to the surrounding sound and motions. In this way a ‘fourth dimension’ is developed: the audience shapes and participates in the ever changing appearance and content of the creations. In 2019 Jonathan founded the studio AnalogDream. a studio for experimental artistic practice that integrates painting, theater, music, club and the dance world. The team of the studio grew progressively and currently consists of six people. It includes a software developer, a mechanical engineer, a light and a mechatronic engineer, a visual director and a sound designer. These themes are transported in installations that react to their environment, exploring the different notions of consciousness, perception, and instincts of humankind.
