Stefan Hechenberger

Stefan Hechenberger was a resident at Eyebeam, hacking on OpenFrameworks with Zach Lieberman and other OF ninjas. Beyond this he indulges in exploratory software and hardware engineering with an emphasis on architecture, product design, tangible media, and motion design. Previously he has been studying in Germany and California and holds a masters from New York University/ITP. His background is Computer Science, Astronautics, Art, and Design.

He now runs Nortd Labs, together with Addie Wagenknecht, an international research and development studio founded in New York City in 2006. Nortd generates work in the area of art, architecture, and system design.

Nortd is defined as a collaboration based studio of creative thought that engages science, art and design. Our open source hardware has been built and used by thousands of people, labs, hacker-spaces and universities worldwide. We believe that people should collaborate globally and build locally.
