Animaltroniek reflects an above water world in which robotics, mechanics and electronics are fused in a transparent way and ‘cuddly’ creatures originate. The project is inspired by ‘Animatronics’ a discipline which is particularly well known within the movie and television world Robots and robotics play an important part in our society. Humans and animals are imitated; experiments are carried out on both a physical and psychological level. What if this goes too far and takes on a life of its own? This project investigates the turning point in the language of movement and imagery, that makes the human brain ‘switch’ over and accepts something artificial as realistic’.

Arne Hellwege – Commutatio
I want to enhance change due to exchange. Focusing on the dependency on real human interaction and following the feeling of connectivity. Experiencing resonance, while sharing and creating in a space, is left behind by using digital communication tools. I want to evoke resonance.

Jakob Jurc – Forbidden Mantra – Midas – the Last Chapter
Introspection puzzle:

Bent van den Berg – Movement through Time
Bent van den Berg is an multi-media artist and designer with both foots in the physical and digital realms. In his work, he mixes the analog with the digital, through enriching physical sculptures with a visual-show. By means of this, he rather works abstract than figuratively and tries to bring art closer to the experience.
Nominated for the Young Talent Award: HKU Utrecht
The hyper-scope is a tool made to explore a non-existing hyper real universe. It gives you a perception of possible new dimensions and a glimpse into a parallel universe. In this reality we explore the hyper real world of geometry and patterns. The illusion is a teaser of what could be experienced if ever confronted within this un-real space.
Nominated for the Young Talent Award: KABK Den Haag
The Great Offshore is a long-term research on offshore finance that aims to highlight its inner mechanisms, networks and agents, how it shapes legislations and creates new extra-territorialities.
RYBN.ORG will exhibit the Algoffshore project: a series of flowcharts that presents blueprints of fictitious automated systems for tax optimisation and asset management, designed from the perspective of their ultimate beneficiaries.
Each system relies on an important documentation, and describes the fundamental mechanisms underlying offshore capitalism: systematic tax avoidance and optimisation, the use of proxies, complex anonymisation processes, transformation of artworks into liquid financial vehicles, citizenship-by-investment programmes for international mobility enhancement, cryptocurrency based money laundering, or the exploitation of flags of convenience as legal loopholes in the high seas.
The Great Offshore is co-produced by RYBN.ORG and : I. espace multimedia Gantner, CNC/DICRÉAM, La Gaîté Lyrique, FNAGP (Fondation Nationale des Arts Graphiques et Plastiques), H3K, II. the French Institute within its residency program Les collectifs, III. m-cult in context of the European Media Art Platform EMAP’s residency programme.

Kim Winder – U’RE IN
‘Let’s not waste the gold of our body’.
Nowadays we are increasingly investing in self-sustainable systems to preserve human mankind. We are searching for the best inventions to rejuvenate ourselves, while we forget to dive into our essence. Sometimes the solution is closer than you think. Every day we produce body liquids, and U’RE IN breaks the taboo of using them. In this interactive performative installation, I research how I can sell my liquid gold, and use branding to influence consumer behavior.
This work will be presented in a Pop-up store.
Nominated for the Young Talent Award: HKU Utrecht

Marjolein van der Wal – Studio Mar-vellous – Starway to Heaven
Starway to Heaven is a project of 8 immense goddesses – constructed from costumes and self-made props – that were previously presented in fashion performances. Re-use is the common thread in Marjolein’s installations. She breathes new life into old work, transforming its meaning. It symbolises the continuous change that surrounds us. The goddesses invite us to stand still. To turn inwards and get in touch with who we really are. So that we can reach our divine essence: light. You may ‘Shine’: You’re a Star!
“Timeshells” are compositions of objects, upon which repetitious events are projected. Highlighted by a play of virtual lights they convey the sense of a day passing within a span of minutes. Behind the playful lights, each installation offers a, poetic, absurd or critical look at our society.
Onno van den Dungen – Since We Have Enough to Protect
A game about data craving. In which you experience, what it is like to watch and judge people, without them judging you. And make important choices about their future.

Tim van Nielen – Oplevering van Schaamte
How many uncomfortable memories do you have about someone else?
VR installation, in which the visitor is an old man, Bernhard, and just before his death he appears to have isolated himself with 30 cats for fear of social discomfort.
The cats give him the chance to do it again, he can just speak to a friend, otherwise the cats will eat him. “If you can resolve your uncomfortable memories, then maybe you won’t die alone, and if you can’t, we’ll really eat your body.”
He was afraid during Bingo to get up and shout Bingo, later in life to rub a lady’s back on the beach, or fell silent during Karaoke. The visitor experiences a learning experience: because fear is not necessary and is encouraged to break open the environment.
How much do you care about someone else?
How many uncomfortable memories do you have about someone else?

Isa Defesche – Giftige Waarheid
About fake news, TATA steel and RIVM figures.
Giftige Waarheid (Toxic Truth) is a book containing 4012 pieces of data received through Citizen Sensing about the pollution in the area around Tata Steel. The close collaboration between Defesche and the residents of the IJmond resulted in a book of more than 700 pages. Parts of this printed with the emissions caused by the factory. By means of a self-developed method, these emissions can be converted into ink. The book toxic truth will soon be forwarded to the Public Prosecution Service via Bénédicte Ficq, the criminal lawyer who assists the victims in the process that follows the declaration they have made.
The first book consists not only of photos but all kinds of data about the pollution. The second part is a file of the environmental service where all reported I ordinary incidents are stored.
New insights arise through cross-references between the books.

Lotte Fleur Zuidema / Studio FlolO – chaOrde Reflect
chaOrder Reflect is a fragmentation of a journey of discovery in consciousness; in search of chaOrder. The object is an introduction in the most physical form. How we perceive the world in an orderly way, the reflections of the poles dance in chaos, playing and distorting the world around them, transforming into authentic deformations.
ChaOrder brings the magic and creates a dance that fuses the opposite poles of chaOs and Order into unity.
Combined with my poem this leaves behind an experience that makes you stand still in peace. The reflection of your own authentic perspective float upwards.

Jillis Groen – The Disappearance of Arjen Kamphuis
Groen’s art is about people in extreme situations. The subject of this work is the disappearance of Arjen Kamphuis; an accident, crime, or voluntary disappearance? No body has been found, and the mystery remains unsolved.
The Augmented Reality installation LEAFDE focuses on “the right of the plant” and explores how the narrative of plants can be used to tell the human story.
Plants are given shelter, care and space to share their story and history.
The AR plant shelter tells the story of plants, but thereby also the story of the people in the plants’ lives. It makes complicated themes such as inclusivity, subsistence, multiple perspectives and ownership more approachable and open for discussion.
LEAFDE is a “living installation” that – as long as there is enough care – makes people aware of the situation we are in and the skills needed to survive as a society.
LEAFDE is developed by Ton Nieuwenhuis during a production trajectory within Cross-TIC under the guidance of Tetem.
