Nick Verstand (1984) is a contemporary artist exploring human behaviour and perception through spatial audiovisual compositions. His autonomous installations and live performances investigate subjects as material-immaterial and internal-external and are created through collaborative design processes, aimed at breaking down social boundaries. The resulting intuitive experiences, co-creations of artist and audience, generate hypnotizing environments for the subconscious mind.

Nick has exhibited and performed at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Dutch Design Week, SXSW (USA) and Design Society (CHN) and collaborated with Fatima Yamaha, Children of the Light, onformative and Suzanne Ciani. Dezeen recently selected his project AURA as one of the top 10 art installations of 2017, alongside artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Ai Weiwei and Anish Kapoor.

Leonieke Verhoog (1980) is concept developer media at VPRO, a Dutch Public broadcasting organisation and curator or program maker at the VPRO Medialab. Her work focuses on new ways of storytelling, while building audiences in unconventional ways. From a mixed reality story made for the Microsoft Hololens to an online porn candy-store for the programme ‘Vieze Film’, from a mobile bookclub to a VPRO Medialab conference and series of Meet-Ups about the Future of Storytelling.
