[:en]Mike Rijnierse is an artist known for his large scale site specific installations, where the audience gets incorporated into the context of the work. In 2005 he developed the 16 channel sound installation PAN which stretched out along a 170 meter path inside of the sculpture garden of the Kröller-Müller Museum for the opening of Kijk Uit!/Attention! by Krijn Giezen. In 2008 Mike received the BNG Project Price for the work LUMOKINESE, a kinetic light installation based on the interplay of light and color in its architectural context, which was shown in various places including the Transmediale in Berlin. The research on light and color in architectural context is an ongoing theme in the work of the artist.  Apart from installations, he develops music theater as a member of the Rosa Ensemble, a contemporary music theater collective which operates more as a band than as a theater group. In which Mike is part of the whole development and performance on stage.  His installations and performances are instruments in which dialogue and interaction are developed for sensory investigation, as a platform for interdisciplinary research. The relation of space and time or the geography and the perception of the observer are used as parameters for development of the muse. As a docent at Interaction Design department of ArtEZ Art Academy, Arnhem (NL) since 2009, Mike developed the course Design of Instruments. The course is focused on the development of new design tools and instruments. Mike Rijnierse was involved in the founding and the development of project and workspaces such as De Vloek, Scheveningen and DCR, The Hague. Today he is based at Quartair, Contemporary Artist Initiatives in The Hague, where he runs a studio together with Ludmila Rodrigues and is as part of the Quartair collective responsible for management and programming of the project space of Quartair.

Stephanie Pan is a singer, maker, performance artist and multi-instrumentalist currently based in The Hague, the Netherlands. She performs in experimental music, new music, experimental theater, and early music, specializing in extended vocal techniques and live improvisation.  At the root of her work is the notion of pure communication; finding a form of contact with the audience which is stripped of social expectations and distractions, that speaks beyond the conventional and social limitations and constructs of language. A mutating combination of theater/performance art/experimental music/improvisation/controlled chaos/pop music/classical music, her work is visceral, passionate and intense, and often explores the limits of the body and voice. She has performed throughout the US and Europe, and has presented both solo and collaborative work in venues and festivals as varied as CTM Festival Berlin, Young Vic Theatre London, Amsterdamse Stadsschouwburg, Incubate Festival,  Dag in De Branding, dOCUMENTA, IDFA, Beursschouwburg Brussel, and Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. She has created and performed work with a wide variety of groups/collaborators such as acclaimed rebel theatre group Belarus Free Theatre, Rosa Ensemble, De Veenfabriek, filmmaker Jeanette Groenendaal, and composers Stelios Manousakis, Trevor Weston, Barbara Ellison and Jasna Velickovic. Additionally she has co-founded several groups such as Computer Aided Breathing, a trio for voice, organ and live electronics devoted to live improvisation, and Center no Distractor, a duo for taiko and live electronics. As a Medievalist, she has recorded with Sequentia, and was a founding member of Scivias Chor and Ars Choralis Coeln. Ms. Pan received her Masters in Theatre from DasArts: Advanced Studies in the Performing Arts (AHK), and holds a BA from UC Berkeley in Music and Applied Mathematics, and a First Phase Diploma, with distinction, in Classical Singing from The Royal Conservatory, The Hague.

Stelios Manousakis (Crete, Greece, 1980) is a composer, performer, sound artist, and researcher. He operates across the convergence zones of art, science, and engineering / composition, performance, and installation / the rich tradition of western sonic art and ‘digital-folk’ idioms. His work is visceral yet cerebral, communicating through pure, raw experience while being complex and multilayered. His output extends from music performance – most often with live electronics – to intermedia and sound art installations, to fixed medium pieces and film music. Many of these works merge algorithmic finesse with the expressiveness of improvisation, or the immediacy of audience participation. They are often designed as emergent (eco)systems or organisms, unearthing rich and organic worlds through artistic reinventions of models from complexity science, cybernetics and biology. Manousakis’ work has been shown in festivals, venues, centers, museums and galleries across Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. Besides his solo work, he has co-founded several music ensembles, multimedia groups, and most recently the intermedial ‘Modern Body Festival’. Manousakis studied music and linguistics in Greece, Sonology in the Netherlands, and is currently finishing a PhD in Visual and Performing Arts at the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS, University of Washington, Seattle, USA).

[:en]Yu-Chih Hsiao’s recent work focus on the concept he named “Megaweaving “. Megaweaving originates from his graduation project in Cranbrook Academy of Art, while compiles extensive experiments and creative works related to “complexity” in two years. It originally starts as an architecture and design experiment, but later turns to an interdisciplinary creation focusing on social integrated mindset and place making as resources combination. After returning to Taiwan on 2008, he further develop these ideas into a comprehensive concept in project, non-profit, creative and teaching. The concept emphasizes on cultural diversity, resource maximum, waste=foods, crossing projects, and do-it-yourself urbanism. He is currently an assistant professor at the Department of Architecture at Shih Chien University, he became the department chairperson since 2012.

 

http://yuchihhsiao.net/filter/PROJECT[:][:Tw]蕭有志近年的創作植基於一個他稱為「大量交織」(Mega-weaving) 的概念。「大量交織」關注環境與文化議題,強調文化多樣性,關注人與人之間、群體與群體之間的合作與互動,同時也強調藉由資源傳輸與轉化將資源效益最大化,使過剩 成為養份(Waste = Food)。作為一個大量交織的實踐者,蕭有志在教學、方案、非營利與藝術創作等四個路線同步進行實驗,這四個路線的發展過程中往往又會彼此交錯,許多跨 方案的資源整合也在這之中發酵,另外也透過資源交換的模型嫁接於一般資本市場的方案運作法則,許多方案在極低限的預算中卻也能轉化出豐碩的成果。例如自2008返台於實踐任教開始即持續在設計課程中帶領學生操作「一百元的大直社區改造計畫」,限定學生每人在一百元的預算內外加回收材料對大直店家持 續進行微型空間改造,企圖在限縮資源的前提下讓新一代設計人放大資源的效益,並學習主動挖掘公共議題反映在空間腳本上,另一方面一體兩面的創造都市公私領 域的雙贏。2009年起持續與非營利組織、民間基金會、社區組織與個人合作,轉化學生的設計力成為社會可用的資源,以此進行一系列的社區書屋空間改造、社區振興創意策略,並多次組織與帶領學生參與設計或規劃工作營,針對各種城鄉公共空間議題進行模擬設計與規劃。在設計方案的實踐中,近來主要探討社會一般慣行營造工法與營造體系的永續性,嘗試以自然素材與相關工法取代現下慣行的空間化妝術。在創作方面,強調物的創 造其目的在於做為人與人之間形成關係的中介物,除繪畫外,近年來著重在微型空間的都市游移,並以此作為擾動都市既有環境的手段。

Both fascinated with and wary of the speed of televisual media, Rice creates systems that pair immediate materials such as light, space, and tangible forms with live and recorded sound and video. With these installations, he engages spectators and participants with direct physical situations, as well as processes that unfold over longer durations. By activating one’s awareness of color, time, and space Rice creates opportunities for dynamic, active viewing. While his practice is primarily concerned with emerging social relationships to digital technology, Rice draws heavily from art historical themes. In doing so, he examines the conditions of surrealist and minimalist attitudes in contemporary new-media arts. This practice informs recent large-scale installations, as well as images and sculptures which incorporate the particular patterns, textures, and processes inherent in digital media. Rice (b. 1978) is a 2011-12 Fulbright Scholar, and a PhD candidate at the University of Washington’s Center for Digital Art and Experimental Media, where he teaches courses in Video Art and Installation.
