artistiek onderzoek - cross-over

Many of my projects playfully capture times and places to give structure to human experiences of the complex, and at times irrational, world we live in today. Over the past five years I have been developing new art-science research methods and modes of presentation in academia, working collaboratively and across disciplines to reflect upon the nature of individual observation, knowledge and creativity. Both research and production based, this work is influenced by scientific methodologies, but does not set out to explain results or prove a hypothesis, rather portray an individual understanding of any given subject, time or place. This investigative process considers visual, audio and written observations as 'data' to be 'analysed', 'processed' and finally presented in a variety of formats and environments.
