About the artist
Ivo Schoofs & Pepe Heijnen
Ivo Schoofs loves to experiment, build prototypes, and create kinetic art, moving light objects, and festival installations. He didn’t graduate in 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, creating objects or building devices. This stimulated his fascination with natural and physical phenomena like gravity, motion, heat, light, lightning, and friction. Schoofs’ light artworks are 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. His fascination with machines and motion, physics, lightning, and the world of Nikola Tesla drives him to tie technical ends together in art, fiction, and experience. Pepe has already created several works for GLOW and is a familiar artist in Eindhoven.
