Installatie-arena WARUM 2.0<br />

Tetris wall, contribution by students<br />

architecture of TU Delft<br />

For a long time Stefaan Decostere was a director<br />

and a producer for the Arts Department of the<br />

Flemish Belgian Television. Extremely critical<br />

towards the codes that uphold mainstream<br />

television programming, his work for television<br />

helped Decostere to develop his ideas about media analysis, structural<br />

experimentation and videographic creation. His documentaries display a<br />

search for a radically new visual language, approaching themes and subjects<br />

from several perspectives and challenging the viewer to take an active stance.<br />

After leaving television in 1998, Decostere has been working as a publisher for<br />

art reviews and as a curator. He is a coach designer for internet sites and has<br />

been the initiator of a workshops series about experimental media. Together<br />

with Margit Tamás he founded CARGO in 1998. One of his latest productions,<br />

the installation arena WARUM 2.0., which he developed together with a team<br />

of technical artists and with architect Paul Virilio and cameraman Daniel<br />

Demoustier, was premiered in February 2008 during the Artefact Festival in<br />

Leuven. It was restaged in 2009 at the media center V2_ during the Rotterdam<br />

Film Festival. In 2010 he developed RealTime, an city project for Oostende<br />

Flemish Cultural City. Decostere is a teacher/mentor at the Amsterdam Film<br />

Academy since 2009.<br />
