Statement
An interactive installation dealing with the subjects of perception, behaviour and interface. A glass underwater sound element is interacting with the visitors in movement and in sound. By mirroring and re-interpreting the movement and behaviour of the visitors this artificial answer to our behaviour could lead us to think about our own perception and our human behaviour.
This installation deals with the subject of perception: how do people look at the world around them? More specifically: the term Anthropomorphism could be applied to the way people look at this work. Often the objects are prone to projection of human or animal like characteristics.
The space between the human and the work I see as the interface, the way people can communicate and interact with the work. This ever-changing combination of reactions and behaviours is recorded and analyzed by the interactive element and re-used in future interactions.
These subjects are explained in a more elaborate way in my thesis: On perception, behaviour and interface.

Q&A
What is the very first thing you do when you walk into your studio each day?
Take a coffee and read the news. What is your drive for making art? (Is it a need? Does it help you think? Is it for yourself? Are you trying to tell someone else something? To whom?)
An unstoppable drive to create. Often a result of an ever-present brain exercise that involves combining concepts, materials, behaviours, observations, imagery, sounds etc, etc. How to consume art?
Experience first, think later. What function has (had) writing (the thesis) in your artistic process?
It helped me understand the themes of the work and its concept, thus creating a clearer idea about the direction in which I am heading.
