About the artists
Kinetic Humor & Epic Rick
Ivo Schoofs loves to experiment, build prototypes, create kinetic art, moving light objects, and festival installations. He didn’t study physics for nothing. “I want to show the beauty of science and technology in a way that people can understand,” he told the Eindhovens Dagblad in 2017. As a young boy, he was already making things and creating objects or building devices. It stimulated his fascination with natural and physical phenomena such as gravity, motion, heat, light, lightning, and friction. Schoofs’ light art is often based on these natural and physical phenomena.
Pepe Heijnen is interested in connecting technology and art. Since childhood, he has been working with cables, ropes, and other connections. As a broadly trained electrical engineer in high and low voltage, he specializes in electronics and automation. Due to his wonder for machinery and motion, physics, lightning, and the world of Nikola Tesla, he is fascinated by tying up technical loose ends in art, fiction, and experience. Pepe has created several works for GLOW and is a trusted Eindhoven artist.
Richard van Kruysdijk specializes in hybrid forms of multimedia art and live performance. Under the name Epic Rick, he creates a large amount of analog effects and intuitive soundscapes, with improvisation playing a significant role. In addition to his visual work, he also works as a producer/composer and multi-instrumentalist on music projects, ranging from post-punk to electronic drone, from multimedia theater productions to industrial techno. He is also involved as a composer and live musician with various (inter)national dance companies. His musical work can be heard on numerous releases and on stages all over the world, from alternative pop clubs across Europe to avant-garde festivals and theaters.
