Guy Van Belle has been working radically with<br />
computer music since the end of the 1980s.<br />
Since this moment he has been involved with<br />
experimental media art. His work relies on the<br />
principles of synaesthesia, real-time generated<br />
images, abstractions and algorithms. With this,<br />
he has gradually turned away from the familiar<br />
parameters and skills for the production, display<br />
and reception of the work of art as we know it<br />
today. Van Belle set up a number of collaborative<br />
virtual organisations, such as Stellingname (1984-<br />
1989), Young Farmers Claim Future (1990-2000), dBONANZAh! (1998-2002), mXHz.<br />
org (since 2002) and Society of Algorithm (since 2004), meant to investigate<br />
different forms of creativity (from real and non-physical beings, including<br />
machines). Guy Van Belle was a co-founder and for many years an active<br />
member of Okno (See section on Art Organisations). In the period between<br />
2005 and 2009, Van Belle lived in Bratislava where he began to work under the<br />
pseudonym Gívan Belá and co-founded the social-artistic organisation Col-me<br />
(2007). Living in Prague, he wrote the fragmentary denizen epos (unpublished)<br />
and began working from an eco-technological point of view. Van Belle is a<br />
provocative and subversive figure who has launched a multitude of unverified<br />
stories, creating his own myth. Preparing an homage to Arseny Avraamov in<br />
Baku on the 7th of November, 2022, he set up the organisation The Baku 2022<br />
Foundation (2006).<br />
