Umberlina Cave A cave like environment built in one of the cellars in Utrecht's main canals, with projections of animated GIF found online; 3D printed objects, plaster and wood sculptures; RGB LEDs, laser beams and color lamps; Synths, sampler, drum machine and effects; computers, routers and beamers; carpets on the floor and plants. The environment held several performances such as music acts, lectures, talks, DJ sets. Despite the compositions created in the space, the objects were spread in a non-hierarchical order avoiding to give any more importance to an artifact or object. Sculptural compositions, lights and soundscapes created an ambient in constant transformation inspiring the viewer to have an active roll by interacting with the objects and the space, as well as with the acts. An open source system has been tailored in order to control the animated GIF compositions of each projector using the wifi.
Ojiji, Obeah, Duppy or I just want to see you again During a three weeks residency a series of actions creating a ghostly - invisible but active - presence were taken place inside an art space. Those actions defined the viewer's position as an archeologist who may excavate the its remains. Artifacts were created as visual support: three ipod radio transmitters from eBay were hacked in order to raise the transmission range from 5 to 200 meters and broadcasted the gallery inside sounds to the streets; simple shapes were drawn using a laser beam and mirrors which could only be seen at night when the space was closed for visits; also during the gallery's closing times drawings were made on the walls and painted back into white; a PA was installed close to the ceiling playing 15 meters of cable's interferences. By the end of the residency a montage using the remains was pilled together with a stroke of white paint on top, and on the top of the wall close to the ceiling, a writing saying “Ojiji. I just want to see you again” was tagged with street typography.
