Tentoonstelling Wasteland: Fungus Socialis, presentatie Digital Debris in groepstentoonstelling
Digital Debris is a one channel 20-screen video installation comprised of new montages of ‘waste’ footage. By showing how new edits can place the material in a different context and create new meanings, it forms a re-appreciation of this visual waste material. The 20 screens that simultaneously play the same video-input, symbolize the excessive overload of visual content that continues to multiply exponentially and ultimately sediments into archaeological layers of digital debris.
Filmvertoning 'Defragmentation' bij Galerie de Jaloezie
Defragmentation revisits the philosophical reveries of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, as he wrote them down in 1943 in Le Petit Prince. Coming from a different planet, Le Petit Prince travels the galaxy and ultimately visits planet earth. His extraterrestrial perspective makes him question earthly matters. In a melancholical mood and homesick for his own planet of origin, Le Petit Price suggests a more poetic view on our galaxy.
Tentoonstelling Private_Eye_Butler_Spy
Smart devices assist us in the home and office, cameras register movements and algorithms determine information flows. The influence of technology on everyday life is ever increasing. The exhibition Private_Eye_Butler_Spy at Arcam examines the changing relationship between technology and humans, and the impact of technology in and on the built environment.
Filmvertoning 'The Dawn Chorus'
The Dawn Chorus shows a particular and bizar interpretation of lockdown life, through the eyes of two creatures who’s only input from the outside world is through a television channel. The two figures live in a basement and have developed their own rituals and preferences, hugely based on the input they get through the television that they watch.
Using found footage, re-enactment, glitch aesthetics, costumes and montage techniques, this film shows the consequences of lockdown life.
