Isaac van den Aker






I’m an artist working across sound, video, code and installation, synthesising them into systems where technology, perception, and materials interact in unstable ways. 

By misusing tools and removing their function, I allow poetic and kinetic qualities to emerge. 
I work with with mundane technologies and found materials and i’m interested in the inbetween states of things. 

I wonder how virtual environments become physical, animate our everyday life and alter our perception.
