Coralie Vogelaar is a transdisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam (NL). In her work, she makes complex issues visible and tangible through systematically conducted research. She combines methods from scientific disciplines such as behavioral studies and data analysis with artistic imagination. Hereby she researches the tense relation between man and machine through the application of magine logic to human bodies and vice versa in video installations and (live) performances and sculpture/print. The conflict between binary machine systems and the ‘messy’ human system results in new ways of understanding this relationship, the world we live in and, ultimately, ourselves.
She is teaching at Artez Arnhem and is an alumnus of the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam (2009–2011) Recent exhibitions were in HeK (House of electronic Arts Basel), ZKM - Karlsruhe, Veem House for Performance, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Kunstverein Kassel, Science gallery Dublin, Impakt Festival Utrecht, UnArt Museum Shanghai, Noorderlicht Festival, Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, MU Artspace, V2 - lab for the unstable media, FOMU - Antwerp, SPRING Festival Utrecht and Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen. She currently is doing a residency at TU Eindhoven Innovation Lab.

Working method:
Observation computer vision based human detection
↓
Formulate a simple open question from a personal interest
↓
Think of an interesting research
methods intuitively suitable for the question
↓
use methods from other
fields or new emerging technologies in a different way
↓ ↑
observe the visual effect (look for the visceral!)
↓
Be aware that a clear research can be repeated
↓
Believe simple ideas can produce complex systems
↓
Allow yourself to be surprised by the outcome
↓
it can result in multi-layered and multiple works

Authentic Movement excercise, inspired by dancer Mary Starks Whitehouse from 1950. Dancer: Courtney May Robertson
selection of body postures made by authentic movements excercises (very individual signature) combined with the randomized method (machine logic) . With body memory it is explored what kind of emotion comes up
Infinite Posture Dataset (fragment)
A dataset of 1000 3d files of classical sculptures. The classical sculpture is the most scanned object available online.
A bin-packing algorithm is normally used for the transport or 3d printing industry. This algorithm can calculate the optimal – occupying as less space as possible – packaging of irregular objects in a container.
With the dataset of classical sculptures a specially designed packing algorithm is applied.
