Daniel Handák
Was born in an environment surrounded by art and craft, which showed him many ways how to express himself. Apart from focusing on visual arts, he also loves to make music and tries to find new ways how to combine these two platforms. His ambitions are to continuously learn new things and develop games or interactive movies that will not only entertain, but also teach us something new about ourselves and the world around.
Thank you to the school, Fassi staff and all those who participated in this project to make it possible.
