-an intermediary installation-

An interactive work of art can not be autonomous, as it is shaped through a dialogue with its audience. This principle forms the explicit point of departure for this work, in which the physical relations between its participants form the parameters for a live audiovisual piece.

skinstrument II

Skinstrument II premiered at Club Transmediale '09. It is a musical instrument which works using skin resistance as a parameter to generate sound, it can be played simultaneously by four players. When players touch one of the semi spheres they become part of an electronic circuit consisting of a tiny, imperceptible current. When the players start touching each other on the skin this circuit starts to generate sound. The intensity of the touch and the type of combinations which are made determine the modulation of the sound.

Site specific installation for movement of light and sound. Kunsteyssen Alkmaar 2008.
vertigo

Our brains create one tone out of 16 sound impulses per second, but what happens to our perception when a sound revolves around us 16 times per second? How many rotating rhythms can someone distinguish at the same time? Such questions are the compositional points of departure for Vertigo, an audio installation investigating the spatial experience of sound. Surrounded by a circle of 32 loudspeakers, the visitor is challenged to explore the boundaries of his or her auditive perception.
16 pillars

16 Pillars is an interactive light- and sound installation which reacts to the movements of its audience. The installation registers movements in the room and processes these with the aid of special software. Within this software the audience is walking through a virtual puddle of water which they disturb just like a pebble in a pond. The waveforms that are created by this disturbance are translated into sound and made visible by moving patterns of coloured light.

16 Pillars won the René Coelho Prize 2006 at the Netherlands institute of Media Art.

iworld

A little project I did for a touring exhibition organised by the ArteDove Platform. It is been exhibited in the library of Fosdinovo (Italy/2007) and Stara Drukarnia, Warschau (2008) and will be touring across europe for the next 3 years.

iWorld is a worldly musicplayer, generating sterile digital sounds from a microchip.Each time it’s button is pushed the worlds national anthems are recomposed in a random fashion.From Russia to Burkina Faso, Peru to Japan, whether it’s war or peace, football or cockfights:iWorld is a must-have for the global citizen.

bio

Daan Brinkmann ('83) is a media artist from the Netherlands. His main preoccupation is creating installation art. His installations are either autonomous or interactional.

His interactional works are always based on the expressive potential of the spectator’s body. Rather than the empirical elements within such a work being the artwork itself, they are often used as a means to achieve a new kind of social experience. His autonomous installations counterbalance this approach. They strive to be in-depth explorations where the perception of light, sound, space and time becomes subject to itself.

In 2006 his work won the René Coelho Award at the Dutch institute for Media Arts.
