Working method:
Observation
↓
Formulate a simple open question from a personal interest
↓
Think of an interesting research
methods 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 thoughts
↓
Allow yourself to be surprised by the outcome
↓
it can result in multiple works

Be honest
Random String of Emotions Two channel video installation. One channel video snippets are played at a random order (200 fragments of ~ 10 sec), 4K 55 inch screen, The other 17inch screen is connected to emotion recognition software, polyethylene foam around the frame.
Emotion recognition software analyse our emotions by deconstructing our facial expressions into temporal segments that produce the expression, called Action Units (AU - developed by prof. Paul Ekman) and deducting them into certain percentages of six basic emotion, happy, sad, angry, surprised, scared and disgusted. Together with actress Marina Miller Dessau and choreographer Marjolein Vogels all facial muscles in the face are being trained and deconstructed in 2018. This research resulted in multiple works.

The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) - is developed by prof. Paul Ekman and Wallace V. Friesen and published in 1978. In this system, 43 muscles in the face are deciphered, which together can make a legion amount of movements and almost infinite combinations.
