The PLANETART ARCHIVES
Lars van der Miesen is following PLANETART Creative Director for one year to show us the artistic- and societal revolution in which he took part. In 1984, Hansje van Halem starred in one of his art movies as a young girl. It’s been 38 years since Kees last saw Hansje, so it’s about time we invite her to come back to Enschede and talk about her work.

Stanza is an internationally recognised artist, who has been exhibiting worldwide since 1984(!). Stanza was one of the first artists to use the internet as an art medium. He specializes in net art, painting, urban landscape, surveillance culture, and data spaces in the real-time city.

The Reader is Stanza’s artwork that will be revealed and become part of the Museum of the Future’s top-artworks. The Reader is a large data visualization sculpture of Stanza himself, that becomes a pulsing algorithmic heartbeat of living data. Custom-made digital software and hardware generate live events inside the sculpture.If you are interested in data visualization, artificial intelligence, and machine learning then this artwork will definitely be intruiging to you!Trust us, this will be an amazing edition of PLANETART TV with two of the best artist in the world.
