André is an illustrator/designer/animator and works for such publications as New York Times, The New Yorker, Harper's, The Independent, Vanity Fair and El Mundo. He is also part of the animated cartoon collective Spam Cartoon. Nuno Correia (aka Coden) is a programmer/DJ/musician and is a PhD student at Media Lab Helsinki (since 2006), where he also teaches.
Video Jack try to push the boundaries of VJing and audio-visual art, incorporating in-house applications; exclusive digital interactive animation; live information feeds; video games; audience interaction; and other innovative media solutions.
