Since 2010 Kurt d’ Haeseleer is artistic director<br />
of de WERKTANK, a small-scale production<br />
house for media art in Bierbeek that offers<br />
new media artists the opportunity to work in<br />
professional circumstances (see also section on Art<br />
Organisations). D’Haeseleer is a video artist himself<br />
and produces (interactive) installations. These have<br />
been part of international festivals and shows in Rotterdam, Tokyo, Montreal,<br />
Paris, Berlin. D’Haeseleer is concerned with visualising and symbolising<br />
the dynamics of information and data traffic in times of glass fibre cables,<br />
computers and modems. In his work he investigates the bodily and urban<br />
impact of speed and translates the omnipresence of media into meta-images.<br />
He frequently makes use of special effects, creating a pixel drama or soap,<br />
situated on the section between painting, videoclip, cinema and performance.<br />
Besides making his own performances, d’Haeseleer regularly works as a video<br />
designer in theatre, dance and opera. He is creating the videodesign for the<br />
Ring-cycle of Guy Cassiers in the Scala and has been working together with<br />
Ictus, Georges Aperghis, Transparant, Kollectif Barakha, Isabella Soupart, Jon<br />
Hassell, Annabel Schellekens, Joji Inc, Peter Verhelst and Köhn.<br />
