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 Living in Prague, he wrote the fragmentary denizen epos (unpublished)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 />
