How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

The works from Gerben Oolbekkink begin with experiences that overwhelm him, moments too big or intense to fully comprehend. These sublime experiences are not only encountered in nature, but in manmade environments such as religious buildings, night clubs and digital systems. 
Vast interiors, immersive sound and the incomprehensible scale of digital information evoke a feeling of awe and disorientation. Through a neo-alchemical lens these experiences are transmuted and explore the relationship between the material, the metaphysical and the digital.
