Artie Vierkant Work from his oeuvre. Shortest statement ever: “His work concerns the degree to which digital media constitute fully tangible objects, actors which are both pliable and physical, structures to be broken into pieces and reconceived.” – Artie Vierkant

Pauline Bastard Works from Western. These are stills from Bastard’s video in which she traces the contours of the landscape with the spinning color wheel.

Martijn Hendriks Work from his oeuvre. There is a good interview here. “Martijn Hendriks’s videos, sculptures, and installations often involve seemingly unproductive gestures.
