PlaneScape (2011-2014)

PlaneScape is an immersive audio-visual installation. The work consists of an entirely darkened room in which a raster of elastic cords has been spanned between the ceiling and the floor. An animated image of dots is projected into the space whereby the illusion of an abstract three-dimensional landscape is created. The viewer stands in the middle of this. The animation is accompanied by a six-channel sound composition. Together, the pattern of dots and lines and the musical composition create a unique spatial experience that simulates a feeling of weightlessness. 

This group of artists met one another during their studies at The Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Alongside this collaboration they each have their individual artistic practices. They won the BNG-Workspace competition in 2010, which made the realisation of this work possible.
