Driven by using their extensive artistic and problem-solving skills to benefit others, Yaron has been fortunate enough to collaborate at the intersection of art and technology with brilliant creatives worldwide, engaging in a diverse range of freelance projects, artistic partnerships, educational and commissioned work. Their collaborations span across researchers, choreographers, organizations, and businesses dedicated to social justice, ecological sustainability, and promoting diversity within the scientific and creative fields.

They create with Ray, a digital avatar, and experiment in generative abstraction, drawing machines, XR, live and technologically mediated performances. Ray is short for rayure, which means scratch, akin to a scratch on a screen. As Joy Waters, they make queer illustrations.

Fluent in French, English, and German, they have an MA in Fine Arts/Critical Curatorial Cybermedia Studies from HEAD, Geneva University of Art and Design (2012), an MA in Solo/Dance/Authorship from HZT, Inter-University Centre for Dance, UdK, University of the Arts, Berlin (2018), and a Diploma in VFX/3D Animation from SAE Institute Berlin (2022).
