artistiek onderzoek - audiovisueel - conceptueel - design - installatie - video
I am a Rotterdam based media artist working with installation, video, and workshops. My creative practice investigates the manipulative nature of digital media and the conflicting desires it creates in us. I am deeply fascinated by the motivations behind people's goals and dreams – especially when these appear as part of larger trends fuelled by online media. I find it important to question the ways our commerce-driven media landscape shows, shapes and shifts the definitions of a meaningful, successful life. Through playful research methods, I delve into this landscape, deconstruct and re-assemble its narratives, and create entertaining multimedia works that invite critical reflection.
