Building installations from hardware and digital systems, I explore how algorithms shape our perception of reality. I use intimate materials such as encrypted memories, DNA, and corporate-held personal data to question the unseen forces that govern our views and decisions.
My work asks whether the intelligence and natural order we perceive in science are inherent truths or reflections of ourselves. I aim to challenge viewers to reassess their trust in digital systems, scientific authority, and what it means to be human in a fast-changing digital world.
Born in the Netherlands in 1982 and now based in Paris, I was trained in medicine and worked in technology before dedicating myself to art. Through my work, I try to make sense of our current moment and analyze the future we are building together in science, technology, and life.
