Jonas Bohatsch is a visual and new media artist based in Vienna, Austria. His artistic work bridges the fields of generative art, interactive media, and digital aesthetics. He explores algorithmically driven creation processes, focusing on how computation and technology shape artistic expression. Central themes in his practice include generative algorithms, playful user interaction and critical reflections on the digital transformation of traditional artistic practices. His works have been exhibited internationally, including at the FILE Festival in São Paulo, EMAF in Osnabrück, and A Maze festival in Berlin and Johannesburg, among others.

In addition to his artistic practice, Jonas teaches courses on generative and interactive art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (dieangewandte.at), where he leads the Coding Lab — a workshop dedicated to computational art and physical computing.
