Ivo Wessel (born in Paderborn in 1965) studied computer science and psychology in Braunschweig and moved to Berlin in 2000 because of the young, vital art community in the city. As a software developer, he programmed apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Alexa-Skills, especially for artists and art institutions. He has been collecting contemporary art and literature ever since his childhood, and he is always trying to unite his three obsessions: books, art, and computers. In 2008, he began ›Videoart at Midnight‹ together with gallerist Olaf Stüber, a project that shows video art on the main screen of Kino Babylon; once a month on Friday, always at midnight.
