Jannetje Jeanine Verloop (Korendijk, The Netherlands, 1994) invites viewers to immerse themselves in an alternative reality where technology is driven not by control and precision but by vulnerability, malfunction and destruction.

Driven by a fascination with how technology can shape, expand, and limit our imagination, Verloop’s work has evolved from her early studies in illustration (2018) to include abstract printing devices, media archaeology, scientific glassblowing, destructive machine performances, experimental film, and experimental sound- and interactive installations.

(2025) preAnima
(2025) preAnima - preAnima is an experimental interactive installation exploring glass as a sensory, sensuous surface. No longer inert, but a breathing, responsive body. The first experimental installation, presented at Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, features five ultra-thin responsive glass bubbles connected to pistons through a network of flexible tubes. Visitors were invited to move the pistons, setting the glass membranes in motion. As the bubbles contract and expand, the glass itself produces a variety of crackling sounds. During the performance, artist Jeanine Verloop controls the system through her breath, in collaboration with composer Yaara Yaniv, who deconstructs, stretches, distorts, and layers the live sonic textures into a deteriorating digital echo. The installation revisits the age-old metaphor of breath as life force, connecting it with contemporary notions of interface and interaction. While an interface is traditionally seen as a technological layer between human and machine, in preAnima it becomes more than just a technical conduit. A sensitive skin between worlds, a fragile system that generates resonance rather than control.
CAOS
(2025) CAOS - 12 March 2025 – 21 September 2025 Solo Exhibition at TETEM. CAOS is an interactive glass installation that explores instability, vulnerability, and chaotic behaviour through sonic and sculptural expression. By embracing chaos, not as disorder but as structure in flux, it operates as an evolving system that appears autonomous, responsive to its environment, yet not entirely under human control. "In the installation, control is shared. By glass, chaos, humans, they all share part in shaping the soundscape. It’s a work outside my direct control, a story of co-creation, that is open-ended and looks at humans as part of a system. Chaos theory fascinates me because it contrasts our idea and desire for a controllable, stable world, while also suggesting that even in instability, underlying patterns exist." – Jeanine Verloop

(2025) Sounds of Glass Workhop by Eva van der Zand and Jeanine Verloop at iii - Sounds of Glass is a workshop designed to explore the intersection of glass and sound. Participants will learn about different qualities of glass, such as its sharpness, heat, breath, and the air involved in glass blowing, as well as the ways glass can enhance and grow in artistic expression.
(2025) CHIME - An Extended View
(2025) CHIME - An Extended View - Wordpremiere International Film Festival Rotterdam 2025. The kinetic sculptures of Rotterdam based visual artist Jeanine Verloop are literally captured in a different lens with CHIME – An Extended View. This debut film records the vibrating three-dimensional glass strings of Verloop’s eponymous installation in 1,000 frames per second. The striking results reveal the motions in installation that are invisible to perceive by the human eye. Condensing time like this, CHIME – An Extended View becomes a meditative reflection on our perfection of time, and the expansion of perceptual horizons through technology. – Hugo Emmerzael
(2024) CHIME
(2024) CHIME - CHIME utilises the fragile and flexible nature of glass and resonance to generate movement. At the resonance frequency, the glass strings collide, producing a collective chorus of subtle chimes. From one’s visual perspective, the glass strings create a mesmerising scenario where the sculpture and its surroundings seem to coexist in the same spatial domain simultaneously. The concept of an object devoid of distinct boundaries may appear surreal, yet it isn’t entirely alien. If one was to imagine the universe beyond their conventional visual reality and base their understanding on auditory experiences, they might perceive the world not as a mere collection of separate entities but rather as a symphony of waves, each with varying intensities traversing through matter. Chime acts as a lens, offering a deeper look into a reality that eludes visual perception. Constantly at the brink of destroying itself, Chime allows audiences to enter a world beyond their reality while giving them space to reflect on the here and now.
(2024) Artist in Residence at iii
(2024) Artist in Residence at iii - CHIME is commissioned by iii as part of its annual residency program and presented in collaboration with Rewire. The research phase for CHIME was made possible by Mondriaan Fund and V2_Lab for Unstable Media.
(2023) Impulses - 3x3
(2023) Impulses - 3x3 - In ‘Impulses,’ Jeanine Verloop is exploring sensors and programming to create interactive glass sculptures. The project unfolds in two distinct phases: the exploration of sensors and programming, and the execution of three presentation experiments. The presentation experiments took place in the 3×3 format at V2_Lab For the Unstable Media on September 22, October 27, and November 24, 2023. The deliberate one-month intervals between experiments enable Verloop to learn and adapt. The result is an evolving narrative where the delicate balance between destruction, vulnerability and interactivity becomes a central aspect.
(2023) Impulses - 3x3 SCULPTURE DECAY
(2023) Impulses - 3x3 SCULPTURE DECAY - SCULPTURE – DECAY is a crawling sculpture that moves over the canvas activated by the visitor’s movement. Two wirelessly communicating ESP modules enable the free movement of the sculpture. It is presented on a raised wooden canvas measuring 45 cm high ⌀ 118 cm. Four HCSR-04 motion sensors are placed under this canvas, each in a different direction. LED pixels on the bottom show a loading circle as long as there is no movement. When motion is detected, the sculpture responds by moving and the pixels light up on the side of the detected motion. The movement eventually causes the sculpture to fall from the raised canvas to a lower canvas ⌀ 240 cm on the ground, which visitors are allowed to walk over. The broken sculpture is replaced, and the cycle repeats.
(2023) Impulses - 3x3 SCULPTURE DISSONANCE
(2023) Impulses - 3x3 SCULPTURE DISSONANCE - SCULPTURE – DISSONANCE, a hanging sculpture, playing with the tension between the delicate beauty of glass and the possibility of it breaking in response to sound. The sculptures hang on three fishing lines, underneath the sculptures there are round canvases (MDF) ⌀ 118 cm, raised by 10 cm. Each fishing line is attached an individuel moving part of the scupture and to a stepper motor, the rotation of which is controlled by sound measurements. The sculptures open and close due to the rotation of the stepper motor, causing them to move up and down.
(2023) Impulses 3x3 SCULPTURE DRIFT
(2023) Impulses 3x3 SCULPTURE DRIFT - SCULPTURE – DRIFT, a rotating sculpture, developed in combination with a soundscape where visitors could float along with the sounds. Drift is a mirrored version of the hanging sculpture Dissonance. Centrifugal force opens and closes the glass sculpture, moving it up and down over a z-axis. The movements are controlled by the difference in sound measurements.

(2022) Evanescent
(2022) Evanescent - Evanescent is a kinetic printing installation that is almost entirely made of borosilicate glass. During exhibitions, this machine appears to be malfunctioning or on the verge of self-destruction. The glass gears and glass chains are in danger of getting stuck in twisted shapes, when the glass breaks, ink is released. The ink drips onto a canvas creating a print that records the destruction of the machine. Verloop sees these works as a deconstructive performance, in which the machine is the performer and she the assistant. Evanescent was developed as part of the Summer Sessions Network for Talent Development program made possible by V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media and was first presented at ARS Electronica 2022 (Linz, Austria) as part of the Rotterdam Garden Exhibition.
(2021, 2023) Symbiote
(2021, 2023) Symbiote - Symbiote was developed in 2021 with the support of Highlight Delft for the presentation at the Highlight Festival in November 2021. The exhibition was postponed due to COVID and Symbiote was first presented at PROSPECTS Art Rotterdam 2022. After this exhibition adjustments were made, the work evolved and Symbiote .2 was created. “It is a machine that seems to destroy itself. The glass gears and glass chains threaten to get stuck in distorted forms and through this process ink is released. Verloop sees work as a deconstructive performance, adopting the role of assistant herself. The title refers to the intensive way in which we have collaborated with technology and have become dependent on the usefulness and efficiency. Verloop would like us to think about the impact that this symbiosis has on human’s imagination.

(2019) Multi Machine Performance
(2019) Multi Machine Performance - The plotter knife replaced by pens and markers draws intricate designs and patterns with machine precision. The loud mechanic sounds generated by the plotter were picked up by a microphone and fed into a complex audiovisual feedback loop where sound was converted into image using hacked VGA cables and a signal stabilizer. The resulting signal was fed into the CRT monitor showing abstract RGB visuals that where a direct representation of the plotter sounds. This is a collaborative experiment created with Ciao Vita at Testsite Meent.

(2019) Cognizant
(2019) Cognizant - Cognizant is a 1.60m high kinetic installation constructed from plexiglass and supported with a wooden frame. The linear lowering of the arms is driven by rotating isolated parts of a rhombic stirling mechanism. That rotation is controlled by 32 continuous servo motors and 2 pololu microcontrollers. This is specifically a test installation, intended to explore mechanics and experiment with various scripts and sensors. The project was developed as part of the Summer Sessions Network for Talent Development program as Artist in Residence at Hangar.org (Barcelona) made possible by V2_Lab for Unstable Media.
(2018) Reawaken
(2018) Reawaken - Reawaken is a kinetic sculpture with 55 robotic arms, powered by 55 servo motors. The lowering of the arms causes an abstract print on paper.
(2017) Antennas Theremin
(2017) Antennas Theremin - The Theremin is an early electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the performer. Together with Merle Sibbel I explored making and using the theremin. This resulted in a series of antennas to put through and around the body. Our collection illustrates the weird and intimate role technology plays in our life.
(2018) Offset Press
(2018) Offset Press - Analogue Printing Device As Robert McLiam Wilson writes, in the introduction Wild at Heart for WilderMann, “Plugged in, neurotically wi-fi ed and G3d as we are, we yearn to re-establish contact with the actual, the primal, the old. We dream of something real, something unmitigated by the filter of profi t-making portals and franchises. We want the as-was, the erstwhile. We languish for the non-mechanical and the pre- or post-industrial. We are pilgrims seeking the past, the genuine, the individual”
