Macular Showcase

Human Resources presents an evening of live audiovisual performances and experimental abstract films by the Dutch media arts collective Macular and a selection of Dutch filmmakers.

Macular is a group of artists who share an interest in art, science, technology, and perception. Part nomadic lab, part research group, part braintrust, the collective is an ever evolving construct that manifests its creative output through installations, films, and live performances. Their work explores the behaviors that emerge from generative systems and processes, both natural and artificial, and is firmly focused on establishing immersive sensory experiences.

Work by Macular members has been shown worldwide at festivals and institutions such as: Ars Electronica (Linz, AT), WRO International Media Art Biennale (Wroclaw, PL), Saatchi Gallery (London, GB), Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (Taichung, TW), Boijmans van Beuningen (Rotterdam, NL) Woodstreet Galleries (Pittsburgh, US), AxS Festival (Pasadena, US), Lucida Space NCCA (Moskow, RU), Microwave International New Media Arts Festival (Hong Kong, CN), TodaysArt Festival (Tokyo, JP & The Hague, NL), DEAF Biennale (Rotterdam, NL), Sonic Acts Festival (Amsterdam, NL), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam, NL), Exit Festival (Paris, FR), Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam, NL), V2_Institute (Rotterdam, NL), Kontraste Festival (Krems, AT), Sight&Sound Festival (Montréal, CA)
