Betje Stevens
 
‘Everything is connected with everything...’ 
Betje Stevens is a felt artist and teacher/education developer at SintLucas. Her fascination for the butterfly effect, how a small movement on one side of the world causes a tornado on the other side, is a returning inspiration for her work. These 'movements' are the basis of her work which consist of large transparent canvases with waves and swirls of felt. They define or deform the space with their physical presence and shadowplay.  
'Like a weaver, I am searching for links and connections between different disciplines to create meaningful stories'.

‘Everything is just as unreal as you want it to be...’ could be something he says about his own work. Allard Krijger is a sound designer and producer of (electronic) music. He teaches electronic music at the Conservatory in Haarlem and is an active education innovator. In addition, he is Coach Creativity (PROTON coaching), writer of SF and besides all this he has more additional creative activities than fingers on his hands (only ten).

FRAKnoise (Allard Krijger) and Terrace (Stefan Robbers) joined in a project improvising electronic music for a live performed light show. It was well received, so they decided to continue the collaboration in some form.”

Mees van 't Hull
 

‘Everything is what you see’ is what you might think when you see her work. Mees van ‘t Hull is a teacher in Media Design, Visual Design, Art&Design. She is a Visual Artist specialized in Motion Graphics (CGI, Particle Systems and edited footage). Also known as Beamervrouwke, her work can be very organic, other moments quite abstract, and sometimes almost naïve. But always with that deep, meaningful essence which makes her work a world in its own. In which you can literally see everything... and more.
