Gijs Gieskes (NL)
Reappro­pri­at­ing tools for new pur­poses, mak­ing invent­ive hard­ware pro­jects, such as his Feed­back video log, Strobo VJ machine or PCB hand painted cir­cuit board.

Artists and makers are re-inventing the design and func­tion of ubi­quit­ous con­sumer elec­tron­ics devices by cre­at­ing hybrid sys­tems and arti­facts with exten­ded uses.

Edu­cated as an indus­trial designer, he now casts Game­boy Bricks in con­crete to build a garden path or a spin­ning pho­to­elec­tronic acid machine. Gieskes’ work and live per­form­ances are a fant­astic example of where hard­ware hack­ing can take you.
