Marnix de Nijs is a Rotterdam based artist who explores the dynamic clash between bodies, machines and other media. His works include mainly interactively experienced machines that play with the perception and control of image and sound, but also, radical and humorous pieces such as his bullet proof tent, bullet proof lingerie and his destructive performances. Marnix has presented his works at several national and international media-festivals and worked with Time's Up_org, Edwin van der Heide, Montevideo_lab, V2_lab, ZKM and the Krisztina de Châtel Dance Company. He teaches at the Fine Art department of the Arnhem Institute for the Arts. (source: M. de Nijs)
