MARGRIET KICKS​-​ASS - Waterscape Apocalyps

from SYNTHESIS VOL​.​1 by International Female Composers

/

about

Margriet Kicks-Ass has an investigative process. She combines art and technology in a hilarious way. From early on, she questions the so-called daily obvious expectations. So she asked herself as a child: Why are the dishes not arranged alphabetically?

She has the ability not to be intimidated by the dominating everyday efficiency and functionality. On a Dadaistic way she juggles with context and meanings of daily life. This analytical approach is also reflected in her fascination with physical technical principles.

These properties together form the startingpoint for her kinetic playable sound sculptures, interactive, autonomous or combined with a theatrical live performance. The physical power of sound as base for kinetic movements of an art-installation is still a source of fascination.

Margriet is inspired by artists such as Theo Jansen, Gerrit van Bakel and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Combining art & technology in several art disciplines, now focusing more and more on autonomous kinetic and interactive sculptures for exhibitions. Although working with technology and new media, Margriet feels a connection with the DADA movement, FLUXUS and also freshly discovered the Patafysica.
