artistic research - digital - DIY - experimental - sound - drawing

I am an artist, designer, and facilitator. I experiment with mediums such as visual, digital, and sound art. Recently finished my master's program in Fine Art and Media Design: Experimental Publishing (XPUB) at the Piet Zwart institute in Rotterdam. In the context of my master's research, I aimed to find accessible entry points for other visual makers to use sound in their research and artistic work. In my practice, I weave various lines of work and disciplines - artistic research, collaborative practices exploration, publishing, documentation, and addressing socially charged themes with a mixture of mediums. I sign my works with Ål Nik.

    • In collaboration with: Naomi Jansen
    • Location: Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam
    • For the academic year of 2022-2023, I was a coordinator and tutor at Willem de Kooning's in-house art residency "Room for Sound". Within this project, I was the sole organizer of the residency, inviting students, tutors and staff to take part and take care of their residencies. For the 10-day residency, they had the opportunity to experiment with sound and research ways to add it to their artistic and research practice.
