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
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.
