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
