About Frederik De Wilde // Impure // Black Ghost Knife
BIO
Frederik De Wilde °1975
lives in Brussels (BE) Frederik De Wilde studied fine arts (MA), audio-visual arts(MA) & followed a pre-education in architecture, studied one year of philosophy and concluded his studies with a post-graduate degree in new media, arts & design at TRANSMEDIA (MA) where he was initiated in software programming.
Furthermore, Frederik studied & worked abroad. For instance at the Johnson Atelier Technical Institute of Sculpture (USA) or as an artist and workshopleader for the Istanbul Museum of Contemporary Art. He collaborated with Groep-T (new media engineers) at the University Leuven and the University Brussels (VUB).
This scientific touch is blending in his artistic practice. For example; the project ’Still Things,’ a multidisciplinary three-part project in the interstice between installation, performance and visual art. Cryogenic applications where used to stop or at least challenge biological processes and therefore, time itself. Together with art historian Ils Huygens he researched the process of freezing time.
Frederik is regularly commissioned for making video-clips, trailers, soundscapes (The Kaaitheater -NRK, Argos vzw, Radio Klara, ...). Frederik is currently collaborating with the University Hasselt researching material physics & biology. In 2008 he received a research grant by the VGC to explore the relationships between the arts, biotechnology and genetics. Furhermore, he’s starting up a collaboration with Unesco Flanders and the Royal Balletschool, add!ctlab, and many more.
His work was exhibited at FutureSonic (United Kingdom), HiperSonica (Brazil), Foundation Vasarely (France), Roger Tator Gallery (France), Soundwalk (USA), iDAT (Singapore), Mediaruimte (Belgium), iMAL (Belgium), Okno (Belgium), Sonic City (Belgium), Insitu (Netherlands), De Brakke Grond (Netherlands), La Salle University (USA), Art Center NETWERK (Belgium), L’Agora Theater (France), University Hasselt (Belgium), .... (Selection)
Frederik is collaborating frequently with LAb[au] LAboratory for Architecture and urbanism and exhibits frequently in LAb[au] MediaRuimte. In 2006 he founded The Bureau of Impure Problems which investigates the artwork and its limits, the frame, representation (...). Frederik’s videos are produced by A FALLING MAN production.

EOD 04
Electric Organ Discharge 04
is an installation by Frederik De Wilde created in collaboration with the University Hasselt (BE). The project is a hybrid installation founded on extraordinary species of living fish that perceive, electro-sense, their environment and communicate with each other by emitting electric signals, either in pulses or waves. The project explores the normal communication mechanisms of electric fish, including JAR (the means by which a fish avoids attempts by other fish to jam its frequency) and thus investigates communication and non-communication between men and animal (interspecies communication). The discharges emitted by the fishes are midrange beta and alpha type, ranging from 8hz to 1 khz (40hz is the frequency of the brain - brain synchronicity can occur). EOD makes reference to proto-information and communication technologies like morse code and the processes of coding and decoding, jamming and jamming avoidance responses displayed by the E-fishes Machiavellian communication strategies. The potential of these particular fishes where recognized by the Ancient Egyptians as well as the Nazi’s, that optimized their communication and espionage technologies based upon the E-fishes behavior.
The installation is based on one plexiglas tube presenting a specific composition of electric fish producing different electric signals. Antennas and sensors implemented in the artwork allows capturing the fishes signals which are related to two integrated speakers transforming these signals into sound, what we hear is the fish’s electric signals, their communication. A matrix of LED’s is placed above a grid of antennas pulsing according to the intensity, rhythm and position, of the emitted signals of the blind fishes. In this manner the electrical impulses of the fishes drive sound and light; an entire audio-visual space. The installation consists of living electric fish, electronics, microprocessors, compiled code, plexiglas and mixed media (measurements: 170x20x20).

April 17 – 20h – Cocteau – Jan Palfijnstraat 17 – Ghent
De Gentse Bolwerkfanfare is reeds verdwenen sinds 10 januari 2009. Doorgedreven speurwerk heeft niks opgeleverd De onzekerheid van haar lotsbestemming maakt het nog zwaarder om dragen,maar we moeten sterk zijn en aanvaarden:
DE BOLWERKFANFARE IS NIET MEER
Wij willen op 17 april samen met u een laatste eerbetoon brengen aan de Bolwerkfanfare. Blijf niet met je verdriet zitten, gedeelde smart is halve smart!
De dienst wordt ingekleed door de dames van RouwendeVrouwen.com en om 20h30 opgeluisterd door Rat Ka Bay Bal, een gezelschap dat ons eigenlijk volslagen vreemd is, maar dat beweert de Bolwerkfanfare zeer goed gekend te hebben.
------------------------------------------------- LA BOLWERKFANFARE N’EST PLUS
La cérémonie sera conduite par les dames de RouwendeVrouwen.com et accompagnée musicalement par Rat Ka Bay Bal, une compagnie inconnue qui néanmoins affirme avoir connu la Bolwerkfanfare de tout près.
----------------------------------------------------------- THE BOLWERKFANFARE IS GONE.
The service will be led by the ladies from RouwendeVrouwen.com and musically accompanied by Rat Ka Bay Bal, a band we’ve never heard of, but who claims having known the Bolwerkfanfare very well.
