MARNIX DENIJS is a Rotterdam based artist who explores the dyna-mic clash between bodies, machines and other media. His works include mainly interactively experienced machines that play with the perception and control of image and sound, but also, humorous pieces such as his bullet proof tent and bullet proof lingerie. Marnix has presented his works at several national and international media-festivals and worked with Time’s Up_org, Montevideo_lab, V2_lab and the Krisztina de Châtel Dance Company. He has an ongoing collaboration with Edwin van der Heide.

EDWIN VAN DER HEIDE lives in Rotterdam. He studied sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. He has given performances all over the world as a composer and performer of electronic music and has created and exhibited various sound installations. The under-lying theme of these works is to develop new musical instruments, new techniques for performance, and new methods of sound gene-ration/production to develop new musical language. Van der Heide is also a member of Sensorband, a group that gave performances using sensor-based instruments at the ICC in 1997. Together with Marnix de Nijs he won honorary mention in the interactive art cate-gory of the Ars Electronica in 2001 for the Spatial Sounds project.
