Cornucopia is a generative and interactive audio-visual installation created for MACA (Moving Arts Centre Amsterdam). It is designed as an ecosystem like Earth’s own ecosystem: self-sustaining whilst influenceable. Humanity is in an endless dialogue with nature, which often feels more like a monologue. We are always hungry for more without listening to our conversation partner. What is our ecosystem telling us? When is it too much? Can we restore the imbalance?

Cornucopia gives our ecosystem an amplified voice through audio and video. With a gentle touch, ecosystem will not respond. But when properly touched, nature will cringe. Cornucopia’s antenna will detect the greedy hand of humanity.

Daan Bothof is an audio visual artist based in Amsterdam. His work as a cinematographer makes sure that his visual art have a sense of aesthetic.

Bothof’s work mostly looks at dreams. What does an ideal world look like? Can we actually achieve that? And in a smaller sense the personal dreams and goals of people, do they hold up?

As a musician he uses the pseudonym Dan Graveyard. With a philosophy of being and playing in the moment, he utilises an Eurorack synthesizer to make a variety of music. From Techno to ambient.

Martijn de Vos is an audio visual artist based in Amsterdam. His work looks at people and their interactions. Why are people the way that they are? As a photographer he is interested in faces and expressions.

As a visual artist he always looks for the edges of what the machines can do. And if the machine stops it doesn’t mean not to go further. De Vos makes his own synthesizers for both visual and audio performances.
