dance-tech.net presents: Art Modding: Interview with Angelo Vermeulen

Angelo Vermeulen works with photography, video, new media and installations. He obtained a PhD in biology in 1998 at the University of Leuven (Belgium), together with a degree in photography at the Academy of Fine Arts of Leuven. After his studies, he moved to London to collaborate with Nick Waplington. Back in Belgium he became an artist in residence at HISK (Higher Institute of Fine Arts) in Antwerp. His bio installations, experimental setups incorporating living cells, organisms and sci-fi references are his most well-known works. Up until 2005 he has been working on the experimental film project 'SKANNER', an inquiry into human fear in cooperation with Tamuraj, electronic musician and mathematics researcher. In 2005 he founded 'Drumlander', a creative platform on game culture in collaboration with Canadian gamer and artist Louis Blackburn. ‘Drumlander’ has been creating audio performances with game music and installations with underground games. Currently Vermeulen develops ‘Biomodd’, a worldwide series of installations fusing game culture, ecology and social interaction. He is regularly invited to give lectures on art, science and new technologies. He is also writing a dialogue book on the relation between art, technology and spirituality in partnership with art philosopher Antoon Van den Braembussche.
