    Willem Marijs en Niels de Bakker

    Niels de Bakker and Willem Marijs both make installations that are
    located at the interface between art and science, in relation to light
    and sound.
    Willem Marijs has been making light objects since the 1970s, often
    made from fluorescent tubes. According to Philip Peters, the work
    is “a fusion of high & low culture without expressing any views on
    hierarchy”.
    Niels de Bakker is a sonologist and makes audio visual installations.
    He researches techniques for image creation and develops
    machines to produce them. The inspiration for these imaging
    machines comes from devices that did not lead to commercial
    success or never even progressed beyond an experiment. He
    manipulates these things to create an unattainable, perfect
    outcome.
