  • Johannes Ockeghem – Deo Gratias – The Hilliard Ensemble

    Somebody was so nice and ‘brave’ to upload this 36-layer video to YouTube: I made this single-screen video In 1995 as a by-product from a multiscreen concert/performance with the Hilliard Ensemble at the Basiliek of Koekelberg. It was the first full digital production made at the VRT, at that time named BRTN, and it was…

  • Premiere MULTIPLE voice/vision @ AMUZ – 1 oct 2011

    About a month ago MULTIPLE voice/vision – BACH had its premiere at the concerthall of AMUZ in Antwerp. From MULTIPLE voice/vision -BACH premiere 1 oktober 2011 Through the use of anamorphosis, and especially through the multiple use of anamorphosis, I challenge the traditional audience-screen configuration.

  • DIORAMATIZED #01 – ‘toonmoment’ @ FLACC october 9, 2010

    A few weeks ago I had a presentation moment at FLACC in Genk where DIORAMATIZED #01 was shown to the public for the first time. What I concentrated on in this first exploration, was trying to impose perspectival limitations on the different layers of the projection. For this purpose I used the technique of anamorphosis.…

  • DIORAMATIZED #01

    DIORAMATIZED #01 is the first of a series of experimental design explorations that we are setting up in the framework of the practice-based research project MULTIPLE voice/vision.
