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 />
