The image shows an installation view of the installment of this project in the 'Centre international d'art et du paysage de l'île de Vassivière'. The show ran from 19 February 2006 until 21 May 2006. Due to the collaborative nature of the artist's practice, the exhibition formed itself with the participation/mix of Mark Luyten and Aglaïa Konrad. Images out of the daybyday process and Konrad's archive interchange and interweave with a soundscape by Building Transmissions. Different archives, ways of experiencing life, day by day exchange information and form a monumental interactive environment that drowns the visitor in a pool of light and color. A poster and artist book have been published at this occasion.

Through time & today

© Nico Dockx ongoing project, started in 1998 courtesy LIGHTMACHINEThe image shows Nico Dockx's intervention in the Lygia Clark exhibition at the 'Musée des Beaux-arts de Nantes'. As part of this intervention, the artist created a poster that confronts a for him essential part of Clark's work with his own work and life. An image related to the movie he shows during the exhibition and a diary-entry by Helena Sidiropoulos were printed on the backside of the original poster communicating the Clark show.

The image shows a still from the continually changing dataflux created by CRYPTICCRYSTALCLOUD, a joint work by DOCKX & MAST, an artist collaboration between Nico Dockx and Jan Mast (born in 1980, lives and works in Ghent, Belgium). They use the experience and thoughts developed throughout their individual projects and life to develop and enrich a combined dialogue. It is a joint effort to question what persons see and how they interpret it. It is continually evolving by nature - being a program conceived to shuffle time and space, deconstructing the linearity of a mostly linear medium - and by context - as its datastream is entangled with the lives of the artists. The installation continually reinterprets a library of documented elements to generate a movement, to show and create possible memories. Reality falls apart in a multiplicity of realities functioning on different sensitive levels and the space around it becomes part of the story, so does the visitor.
