Mariska de Groot
Intrigued by the phenomenon and history of optical sound, Mariska de Groot (1982, The Netherlands) creates, performs and composes for complex analog instruments and light-sound installations that explore this principle in a new way.
Her works often refer to past media inventions, with which she tries to evoke multi-sensory and phenomenological experience in light, sound, movement and space. Mariska received a BA in Graphic Design from Arnhem (2000-2005) and an MA in ArtScience in 2012. In 2009/2010, Mariska received a Startstipendium from Fonds BKVB. In 2012, she won the BNG Workspace12 Project Prize, in 2014 the O68 for German-Dutch artists, and in 2016 she received the Creatives Industries Talent grant for development.
Mariska de Groot has presented her works at several national and international events such as STEIM (NL), Fiber (NL), Resonate (RS), Ars Electronica (A), Atonal (DE), CTM (DE), Oddstream Festival (NL ), Todays Art (NL), Shiny Toys (DE), NCCA Moscow [RUS], NCCA Arsenal (RUS), Centras (LI), Glow (NL), Lab30 (DE), NK Berlin (DE), STRP (NL), IFFR (NL), Worm (NL), Atelier Nord (NO), Mirage Festival (FR), Nederlands Film Festival (NL), EYE Filminstituut Amsterdam (NL), STUK (BE).
