TOPIA - Audiovisual Installation (2021-22)

In collaboration w/ Zalán Szakács and Bob Roijen

Topia is a spatial experience that brings this underexposed history to the forefront. The installation invites the spectator into a ‘screenscape’, in which both its display and its architectural functions are referenced and performed. Light ‘screen’, a large light projection surface on haze in space, creates a perceptual wall. This new screen becomes an immaterial interface that is created through digital technologies but manifest in the physical environment.

In Circles - Generative Audiovisual Installation (2017)

In collaboration w/ Machteld Jacques

"In Circles" is a generative audiovisual installation that reflects on our currently overstimulated environment by illustrating how technology is able to mediate our perception.

By creating a completely dark environment, the installation allows the audience to recapture their sensory self by placing them in an initial state of sensory deprivation. The deliberate perceptual isolation allows subjective perception to be reset and is subsequently altered by the use of light and sound. The visual system is deprived essential information necessary to interpret the dynamics of the space and turn it into its mental representation.

Polaris - Interactive Audiovisual Installation (2016)

In collaboration w/ Nikki Hock, Children of the Light, Nick Verstand

Polaris is a large-scale art installation which researches our emotional response to music. Twenty participants in the audience volunteered to wear biosensors measuring their brainwaves, heart rate variability and galvanic skin response. These readings are interpreted using the Circumplex Model to indicate collective emotion, after which they are translated in real-time into light animations on the twelve meter diameter circular object. This process immerses the audience in their materialised collective emotional experience and allows them to co-create the piece together with the artists.

Mutual Wave Machine - Interactive Neurofeedback Installation (2015)

In collaboration w/ Matthias Oostrik and Suzanne Dikker

The Mutual Wave Machine is an interactive neurofeedback installation that embodies the elusive notion of ‘being on the same wavelength’ with another person through brainwave synchronization. Enclosed by an intimate capsule and immersed in an audiovisual environment that responds and reflects their shared brain activity, two visitors can directly experience and manipulate their internal efforts to approach each other, or distance themselves from each other.
