In the Instrumental Sensor residencies iii and Highlight Delft match artists and sensor specialists to collaborate on artistic experimentation and research with state of the art technology. Artists Mint Park and Noor Stenfert Kroese share their experiences in the collaboration around air flow sensors (VPInstruments) and biochips (TU Delft). Teun Verkerk (artistic director Highlight Delft) talks about the value of these collaborations. Moderated by Yannik Güldner, iii’s agency coordinator.

Mint Park

Mint Park is a Seoul (KR) based, sound, and new media artist who works at an intersection of music, technology, science, and art. In recent years she has been researching the phenomenon of turbulence and making a weather-like ecosystem of fluid dynamics with sound, air, and lights. Her audio-visual practice focuses on the experience of the inter-weaving physical environment and virtual spaces within immersive environments created with sound, light, and spatial apparatuses. Mint is a former iii resident.

Mint designs her own audio-visual systems and instruments that are spatial and site-specific. She uses these inventions as part of live performances and compositions that question the constantly fluctuating existential qualities in today’s binary space and machine-quantified time. 

As composer and performer, finding a state of ‘in-between’ to operate in has been the catalyst for her practice. This leads to unknown outcomes in format, medium, environment, techniques and genre. Mint starts her artistic practice from spaces, especially those with an aspect of the unknown, unpredictability, non-linearity, or perhaps even a part of a phantom: a contingency.

Besides her own projects, Mint has been running Unheard Records, an electronic music label focusing on experimental music and sound practices of femme, queer and P.O.C artists.

Noor Stenfert Kroese

Noor Stenfert Kroese is a Linz (AT) based new media artist and researcher with a background in performance art, scenography, and mycology. She explores biomediated interactions between humans, living organisms, and robotics through media art and performative installations.

Noor combines her artistic practice with her PhD research at the Creative Robotics Lab. She works as a lecturer at the University of Arts, Linz and a University Assistant in the Master’s program Art & Science at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna (dieAngewandte). Her research focuses on data storytelling of living organisms, fungi-inspired biocomputing and (non)-human interactions with industrial robotics. She develops sensor-based methods and living materials within bio arts and biofabrication, to explore and research meaningful interactions between humans, non-human organisms, and technology.

Noor’s work has been exhibited and performed at various venues and festivals, including the Ars Electronica Festival (AT), Festival X (UAE), ISEA (FR), Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts(TW) and Theater Rotterdam (NL). She has received several recognitions for her work, such as an Honorary Mention from Prix Ars Electronica(AT), YouFab Global Creative Award (JP), and the New Media Architecture Biennale Award (CA).

Teun Verkerk 

Teun Verkerk is founder and artistic director of Highlight Delft, an annual art & technology festival in the innovative city of Delft. Since 2017 he has invited artists and designers to explore, present and develop artistic projects that explore new possibilities on the nexus of art and technology. In the context of the festival artists collaborate with research institutions and companies and present in special locations such as the public space of the city. 

Teun is always on the lookout for new ideas coming from the worlds of art, science and technology that create new and alternative values for society and the everyday person. With a background in interaction design and architecture he is experienced to test creative applications of technology. At Highlight Delft part of his role it to create space for artistic experimentation and to build new partnerships and collaborations. 

Besides Highlight Delft, Teun is managing the artist residency programme Crossing Parallels at TU Delft and is co-founder and curator of Maker Faire Delft, a festival for DIY makers. Teun Verkerk is a former member of the iii-workspace community.
