About me

In 1999, I received bach­e­lor’s degrees of art and music from both art acad­e­my and con­ser­va­toire. Since then, I have been work­ing as an inde­pen­dent media artist, teacher and researcher.

I cre­ate audio­vi­su­al instal­la­tions and com­pose music and sound for the­atre and film. As a cre­ative direc­tor / cura­tor, I also ini­ti­ate (research) projects at the inter­face between the dif­fer­ent art dis­ci­plines and the sci­ences.

A con­tin­u­ing theme through­out my work is the human rela­tion­ship with tech­no­log­i­cal and sci­en­tif­ic progress. I’m fas­ci­nat­ed by the ori­gins of media tech­nol­o­gy through­out the ages, and the influ­ence of his­tor­i­cal sci­en­tif­ic and tech­no­log­i­cal dis­cov­er­ies on con­tem­po­rary cul­ture. With my projects, I’m try­ing to make tan­gi­ble how those his­tor­i­cal devel­op­ments are shap­ing our cur­rent and future per­cep­tion of the world.

I believe in inter­dis­ci­pli­nary coop­er­a­tion between artists and sci­en­tists. I am con­vinced that artists can play an impor­tant role in bridg­ing the often per­ceived gap between ever-accel­er­at­ing sci­en­tif­ic and tech­no­log­i­cal progress and soci­ety.

Besides my inde­pen­dent art prac­tice, I am work­ing free­lance as an artist, researcher and teacher for var­i­ous cul­tur­al, sci­en­tif­ic and edu­ca­tion­al orga­ni­za­tions.

My stu­dio is based in beau­ti­ful Utrecht, The Nether­lands, where I also live with my part­ner and two love­ly daugh­ters.
