about

Job Worms (1992, Amsterdam) is a multidisciplinary artist aiming to uncover what lies beyond the reach of our general perception. Through nature and technology, he explores tensions between the digital and the physical, structure and chaos, and perception and incomprehension. Job invites you to observe unexplored worlds and review your relations with your surroundings, by extracting and unveiling hidden aspects of our environment.

Together with artist Pauline Mikó, he forms the performative experimental plant-based electronic music duo opya, where cables collide with roots and stems.

In 2020, he graduated from the European Postgraduate in Art in Sound at KASK in Ghent. His works have most notably been shown at Design Museum Gent, KIOSK Gent and Ars Electronica.
