🎥 Another good one from the seventies, with a young Nick Nolte. Plot line a bit disappointing, but great cinematography. Who’ll Stop the Rain (1978)
🎥 Enjoyed watching some great films from the seventies lately. Night Moves (1975) certainly was one of them. Directed by Arthur Penn, and with a great Gene Hackman.

I created a video teaser for my upcoming project ‘De Meeuwen van Tinbergen’, about the life and work of Nobel Prize laureate Niko Tinbergen (1907–1988).
‘De Meeuwen van Tinbergen’ will be an interdisciplinary project in cooperation with Cowboy bij Nacht, Staatsbosbeheer, Museum Boerhaave Leiden, Institute of Biology (Leiden University) and Oerol Festival Terschelling. More information can be found on the project blog ↪︎demeeuwenvantinberge…
I will exhibit a small kiosk with a portfolio of my work in front of my atelier
Address:
Vlampijpstraat 50
3534 AR Utrecht
Once every hour, on the city hall square, Cowboy by Nacht will present a ‘concert for seagulls’, presented through an 8‑channel surround sound installation, placed around the square. In between these short interventions (inspired by Hitchcock’s “The Birds”), we will invite the audience to take part in a little video-interview, while they get a special treatment by a make-up artist.
More on this project (which is scheduled for summer 2011) in future posts, for now, check the project-blog (in dutch), or the back of the flyer below.

I also was invited by Dutch television channel AVRO, to review two small projects at the festival. The results can be seen below:
I got nominated for the BNG WorkSpace Project Prize 2010, organized by Filmhuis Den Haag / ZAAL5, with a project proposal for an interactive light installation named ‘A Close Encounter of The First Kind’ (for which i’m still seeking funding).
WORKSPACE is the annual project competition through which ZAAL5 seeks out talented filmmakers and artists working with film, new (interactive) media, video installations, performance and visuals. ZAAL5 is the in-house project space for media arts at Filmhuis Den Haag. This multifunctional room is dedicated to programmes and projects using moving images that are not displayed in regular film halls.
I was one of the 5 selected artists (out of 45 applicants) that had to pitch his or her project proposal on the 25th of april 2010, in front of a professional jury, to win one of the two available prizes of € 9000,- for the realization and presentation of the project.
This week I am attending the fourth and last week of the Cimatics Masterclass Live A/V 2007/2008 in Brussels. Cimatics is a Brussels based international platform for Live A/V. This Masterclass consists of a series of 4 workshops with lectures from different internationally renowned media artists / theorists (amongst others Marc Amerika, Lab[au], Yves de Mey, Jerry Galle, Brendan Byrne & Ana Carvalho, Boris Debackere). The practical part is all about collaboration: 10 selected artists, working in different fields of media-art (and with backgrounds ranging from choreography to architecture) form groups and collaborate with each other, with the aim of creating an audiovisual performance project.
From february 15th – february 19th 2008, i will present a new video from my ‘Time Sketch’ series at exhibition Narratives in Space // Spatial Narrations in Ghent (BE). This installation exhibition is organised by Ghent based foundation Existentie, a platform that brings together artists, arts critics and curators.
On october 2nd 2007, a modified version of the motion tracking system i originally developed for my Lightroom project, will be used in an interactive sound-installation of Werner Urban at the Kinderboekenbal 2007 at Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ in Amsterdam. For those interested i will share here a little bit of the technical backgrounds of this system.
From april 1–17 2007, Scenes From My Backyard will be exhibited once more at the videowall of the Stadschouwburg in Utrecht.
Lucasbolwerk 24, Utrecht
From 20.30 hrs. until late.
