Zerv (Stefan Zerwas) is an artist and interaction designer whose practice spans photography, moving image, creative coding and interactive systems. His work explores the intersections between physical and digital worlds, with a particular interest in perception, human interaction and the ways technology shapes our experience of reality.
In the 1990s, he founded Metzgalerie in Koblenz, Germany, an independent exhibition and experimental space housed in a former butcher's shop. There, he initiated and curated projects such as Everlast (1996) and Kaiserknacker – 101 Jahre Dosenwurst (1997), bringing together art, everyday culture and public space.
Zerv studied Graphic Design at Anglia Polytechnic University in Norwich and holds an MA in Design for Interactive Media from Middlesex University in London. His photographic work has appeared in TANK Magazine and Lab Magazine and was presented as part of the Liverpool Biennial (2002). His experimental and interactive projects have also been featured at international media art festivals, including FILE Hypersonica in São Paulo (2004) and Pixelache in Helsinki (2006).
Alongside his artistic practice, Zerv has worked extensively in interaction design, digital media and education. His ongoing engagement with emerging technologies, programming and human–computer interaction has become an integral part of his creative approach.
His work explores computational photography, moving image and the interplay between physical spaces and digital processes. Rather than treating technology merely as a tool, he approaches it as a medium for exploring perception, memory and the relationships between people, images and space.
