Openings of LFS2 and If/Then installations
FIBER Weekends 2018 also presents the openings of LFS2 by Mariska de Groot & Dieter Vandoren and If/Then by Gabey Tjon a Tham. Presented in collaboration with KIKK Festival on Friday, 30 November, LFS2 is an environment formed by a network of elements scattered in space that interact with each other through light and sound signals. The Hague-based artist Gabey Tjon a Tham unveils If/Then at 4Bid Gallery on Saturday, 1 December. Commissioned by FIBER and created with the support of the Crossing Parallels programme (TodaysArt & TU Delft), the installation attempts to make sense of the non-human systems of time that we interact with every day.
