Running from July 12th to 19th 2009, the Electrified Summercamp was an intensive week of work for 15 artists, including me and 3 organizations with the city of Ghent as our scenery, our territory, our sparring-partner and challenger.

During the Summercamp Electrified I was working with Agoston Nagy. We planned to make an installation, based on drawings made in the city of Ghent with the intention of extending drawing possibilities using graphite as a circuit for electricity. The drawn lines can be used as inputs for our digital environment (using arduino or other microcontrollers). Inspired by local the art scene we were open to create locative drawings, like “scanning” the map of the city, walking around, create algorithmic patterns on the streets. The drawings can control a sonic environment based on our audio experiances of Ghent.
