​Floris Vanhoof
Floris Vanhoof is an enchanting mastermind working around the hybrid form of music, photography and film. Inspired by structural film and early electronic music he makes audiovisual installations, expanded cinema performances and music releases. Experimenting with cross-medium translation and compatibility, he questions our viewing patterns and the possibility of the new perspectives to emerge. Vanhoof builds his own instruments to discover the border between image, light and
sound. Regardless of nostalgia, he purposively chooses analog technology, reinventing 'high-tech' and looking for the ways to make old images with new media.
For this event, Vanhoof will perform Brain-controlled film projector. Five electrodes attached on his head measure the concentration level, with information sent via Bluetooth to the circuit controlling the motor of the projector. Its speed changes depending on mental activity and the level of concentration.
