De meeuwen van Tinbergen - prologue

participative performance installation

Een participatieve performance installatie over ‘watching and wondering’, de zelfbenoemde grondhouding op basis waarvan gedragsbioloog Niko Tinbergen (1907-1988) uiteindelijk de Nobelprijs won. Het vrije veld in, goed kijken en jezelf daarbij de juiste vragen stellen, dat was in essentie hetgene waar hij zijn latere roem mee vergaarde.

Waar het uiteindelijke project in 2012 vooral zou gaan over de invloed van Tinbergens gedachtegoed op het moderne leven hier en nu, richtte het vooronderzoek in 2011 zich vooral op ‘waar het allemaal mee begon’; de grondhouding die voorafging aan alles en dankzij welke Niko Tinbergen zijn nieuwe wetenschap (de gedragsbiologie) heeft kunnen ontwikkelen.

Mozzhukhin

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:22:42 +0000

Mozzhukhin (2008) is a performance installation by cowboy bij nacht, inspired by a classic cinematic experiment by Lev Kuleshov, known today as the “Kuleshov effect".

Around 1918, Lev Kuleshov edited a short film in which shots of actor Ivan Mozzhukhin, looking into the camera, were intercutted with fragments of various objects. The audience praised the acting skills of Mozzhukhin; first an object made him hungry, then sad, etc…   In reality the audience always watched the same shot of the actor, in which he actually looks quite expressionless.

Performance Installation - Body Navigation Festival

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:41:23 +0000

Audiovisual Performance Installation

A multi-hour audiovisual performance installation in the intimate setting of an apartment/gallery during the Body Navigation Festival 2008 in the centre of St. Petersburg (RUS).

Made by Flat Corner & MOVE Project: 7 artists from 6 different countries who found each other during the Cimatics Masterclass Live A/V 2007/2008 in Brussels (BE). We formed a group of artists collaborating on a common interest in exploring interaction of the body with live video-projection and live (generated) sound. The results of our research were presented during this audiovisual performance installation in St. Petersburg.

Bouwnummer 1077

Bouwnummer 1077

Performance / Sound installation

Bouwnummer 1077 is a ‘heavy physical sound performance’ by Bart Visser, Remco de Jong and Arnold Hoogerwerf. This project is both a performance and a sound installation. The installation scans the surrounding space of the installation with microphones and speakers, which are built into hanging cubes. It can be played like an instrument, by grasping, swinging and rotating the cubes. By playing sounds into the room and subsequently recording and replaying the same sound, an acoustic resonance scan is being made of the space and the room will reveal, bit by bit, its ’true acoustical identity’.

Ontleding Van Het Filmische

Ontleding van het filmische

Ontleding Van Het Filmische is a performance / light installation. In this performance, a mechanical light construction is built and carefully tested, with the ultimate goal of creating one ‘cinematic’ moment. This project is an ode to the pioneers of cinema: all the artists, priests, alchemists and scientists that passionately worked on the invention of the cinematic apparatus, an apparatus that laid the base for our contemporary visual culture.

Secret Places

Secret Places

Performance installation

Secret Places was a performance installation by Forced Entertainment with 13 performers of the Rotterdam and The Hague Art Academies. In this 4 hours lasting performance, the performers were sitting next to each other with their eyes closed, telling each other stories from memory.

“Surrounded by 1000 snapshots of the city 13 performers embark upon a marathon of memory. Hundreds of stories are told, forgotten places are re-discovered and fragments of reminiscence are whispered in the half-light. You are invited to eavesdrop.”
