The moment I knew what I wanted to do.
When I did a linking course animation I stumbled across the Californian multimedia-artist Miwa Matreyek. I loved the way how she placed herself into an animation, and with doing so, created a complete performance. It is an interactive animation which creates an experience. I realized that as an audiovisual designer I don't have to focus myself on making feature films, but I can develop myself more as an audiovisual artist that creates live experiences.

What do I make
In 2014 I finished my bachelor communication sciences and started audiovisual design at WDKA.
I work as a freelance filmmaker and commercial production manager/castingdirector and practice dance in my spare time.
As an art-student I make disturbing stories and the videoinstallation ceci n'est pas mode.

Topic of interest
I am interested in designing space and live experiences. I would like to explore the theatric space and the added value of audiovisual designs. For instance build live interactiveness for the audience. Or build an installation that performance-artists can work with. Act to wonder and surprise.

What is my medium
I would like to work with analogue tools, that you have to control live. Tangible earthly materials and liquids. Interesting shapes, spheres, triangles, 360 spaces. I wanna learn to work with the ceramic station and lasercut materials.

PROJECT

Inspiration
Id like to design something that is fragile alone, but big in a group. Inspired by the Dandlelights of Studio Drift. Also the Lumiere of Commonplace felt this way. I want that the design can hang in a space and people can lie beneath it and watch it, and get lured into that moment. This way of present installations always seems very fascinating to me. Herefore a big inspiration was an installion at Afrikaburn festival: a frame where you have to crawl under and then lie and watch the lights. Because I want people to not only watch it, but something has to happen, it has to be interactive. And preferably is unpredictable, so live generated.

I am also inspired by nature. For this I was thinking about a three where the wind is blowing through the leaves and the leaves will light up. People could lie under it.

Idea 1
I thought about designing a cloud of a kind of cotton (in dutch: 'watten materiaal) with one or 2 little leds in it. People can touch it with their hands or with a laserlight to get a reaction.

Research idea
When I researched the cotton I saw that something exists like the Amazing Cloud Lamp (http://www.stylecowboys.nl/Lifestyle/3805) The cotton has to maybe do something with temperature: if the temperature rises, it will conduct to the led and there is a kind of thunder effect. And if it colder, it will create a pinkish effect.

Idea 2
What if the cloud will react on your breath? Then people shouldnt have to touch the design, but can trigger it to light up.

Research watten materiaal
Wick? Gewoon wat?

EXPERIMENT FOR PROJECT

07-06-2016: Dark sensor with LDR, transistor and a LED
Ik wil graag een wolk maken die oplicht op de plekken waar je met je hand komt, en geleidelijk uit gaat als je je hand weer weghaalt. Omdat ik graag wil weten hoe dit met electronics werkt, heb ik geëxperimenteerd met een donkere sensor met LDR, transistor en een LED. Het was een circuit die ik samen met Thomas vond op http://www.instructables.com/id/Dark-Sensor-with-LDR-transistor-and-a-LED/.
Ik had 2 weerstandjes nodig (680ohm en 1Kohm), en leerde hoe ik de hoeveelheid kon checken via color code.
Ik vond het nog wel een gepriegel op het breadbord, maar had na een tijdje wel het goede rondje gemaakt. Alleen toen ik het circuitje kloppend had, leek het alsof de LED kapot was. Hij ging namelijk niet aan. Eigenlijk heb ik toen meteen het LEDje vervangen, maar die deed het ook niet. Het bleek dat er teveel licht was en ik mijn hand er op moest houden. Er ontstond een geleidelijk uitgaande led als ik het aanraakte, precies zoals ik wilde.
