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 />
