The prize is intended for a visual artist who unites the disciplines of art and technology in a special way in his / her work and for whom technology is therefore much more than an instrument. Appreciation With the award, Witteveen + Bos demonstrates its special appreciation for creativity, which plays a major role in both the work of the engineer and the artist and which is necessary to bring about innovation. The prize consists of an amount of fifteen thousand euros, a publication in book form about the award-winning artist and an exhibition in the Bergkerk in Deventer. The prize is awarded by an independent jury and the prize-giving ceremony takes place annually in November in Deventer. Irs van Herpen wins Art + Technology Prize 2016 The fifteenth winner of the Witteveen + Bos Prize for Art + Technology is fashion designer Iris van Herpen (Wamel, 1984). Iris is an artist in the fashion world, her works are of great innovative and sculptural value. With her artistic work she has a great impact on her field, combining technical innovations with traditional craftsmanship. Her designs arise through a unique treatment of the material or even the creation of completely new materials. For this material research and the distinctive way in which she presents her collections, Iris van Herpen conducts interdisciplinary research and often collaborates with other artists and scientists. Her work is carried by Björk, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Tilda Swinton, among others, and is included in museum collections. Artistic The Witteveen + Bos Prize for Art + Technology fits in a broader context, because there is a great deal of interest in art within our office. For example, at every lustrum we have a work of art made in a small edition, which is intended for employees and permanent relations. Since 2002, the monumental sculpture 'Dialogue' by Jan Snoeck has stood in front of our office building on the Leeuwenbrug. We are also sponsor of the Deventer Boekenmarkt and the Deventer Schouwburg.
