about

Zeno van den Broek is a composer and artist who explores the intricate relationship between humans and technology. Through his audiovisual creations, he delves into how our interactions with fabricated environments shape our experiences. Van den Broek’s works challenge the conventional understanding of how we perceive and engage with our technology-infused surroundings. Through his intense and thought-provoking works, he aims to disrupt our habitual consumption of these spaces and interactions, prompting us to venture beyond our comfort zones and actively explore new possibilities.

“Forming Folds” is focused on researching and expressing the relation between the digital realm and our perception: the digital layer, the infosphere of visible and invisible mechanisms, strongly influences our daily perception of time and space. As a result, the digital allows us to expand our perception and knowledge far beyond the human, towards a new form of post-human sensibility in which space and time collapse. Language, in spoken word, is layered by training an AI on, at one hand, the poetic writings “Species of Spaces” by Georges Perec and, on the other, Wikipedia texts on spatial analysis: generating a new language to approach spatial perception. The four compositions explore various modes of the human and the digital, ranging from electromagnetic hums and glitches to AI-generated voices and hidden field recordings of southern Europe.
