At the end of 2024, we introduced three new makers on our social media. As always, we also want to highlight them on our website!
Marsha van Leersum
…explores how air quality data can be transformed into tangible, embodied forms that reveal the invisible effects of pollution.
Marsha (they/them) is an interdisciplinary artist and circular storyteller. Their practice focuses on creating interactive installations, sculptures and performances that connect people to ecological stories. Marsha’s work invites participants to encounter non-human stories and rethink how we connect with and care for our environment through tactile and reflective interaction.
In this trajectory, Marsha explores how that air quality data can be transformed into tangible, embodied forms that reveal the unseen effects of pollution.
Lena C.
…explores how the process of natural growth can be stimulated by sound and other media.
Lena C. is a Taiwanese sound artist living and working in Enschede. She explores sound and interdisciplinary art through artistic research, live performance and free improvisation in electronic music, visual art composition and installations. Her research interests revolve around themes such as the relationship between individuals and natural phenomena, post-humanism and the content of technology and media on human experience.
Her observation of plants adapting to human activities forms the basis of Lena’s concept: exploring the negotiation between human and nonhuman worlds.
Jouke Feenstra
…programs a pen plotter so that it receives data from the sound of his saxophone and converts it to a drawn work.
Jouke is a saxophonist with a love for experimental music that challenges him to push the limits of his instrument. His musical roots are in contemporary classical music, but today he seeks these boundaries especially when he plays with his band “Better Life.
In his trajectory, he figures out how musical parameters such as dynamics, pitch, tone duration, articulation and the like can be translated into color, form, texture and composition.
