Angelo Vermeulen is a visual artist, a filmmaker, a<br />
biologist, and an author. His work as an artist is<br />
informed by his research in ecology, environmental<br />
pollution and teratology. These theoretical<br />
influences are brought together in his bio<br />
installations: experimental setups which<br />
incorporate living organisms and references to<br />
science fiction. Projects include Blue Shift [LOG 1],<br />
a Darwinian art project in collaboration with evolutionary biologist Luc De<br />
Meester, and Biomodd, a worldwide series of cross-cultural, symbiotic<br />
installations in which social interaction, ecology, and game culture converge.<br />
Besides developing Corrupted C#n#m#, an experimental cinema project that<br />
explores the physicality of digital media, he is currently also collaborating with<br />
the MELiSSA life support division of the European Space Agency. Translucent<br />
Futures is Vermeulen’s own activist/research platform examining the downfall<br />
of civil rights through digital and ubiquitous technologies. Together with Antoon<br />
Van den Braembussche, he is a co-author of the book Baudelaire in Cyberspace:<br />
Dialogues on Art, Science and Digital Culture. Vermeulen regularly delivers<br />
lectures in Europe, Southeast Asia, and the U.S.A. He is an advisor at Sint-Lucas<br />
Visual Arts in Ghent and received a TED Fellowship in 2010.<br />
