Multimedia artist Heleen Blanken talks about her work Habitat as part of the Shifting Proximities exhibition at Nxt Museum, represented by the Curator of the show, Bogomir Doringer, and Co-founder, Natasha Greenhalgh.

Habitat is a data-driven installation by Heleen Blanken with software developer NAIVI and sound artist Stijn van Beek, presented for the first time at Nxt Museum. The work translates 3D scans of organic artefacts from Leiden's Naturalis Biodiversity Center into a game-like, meditative environment.

About the artist

Heleen Blanken lives and works in Amsterdam. She is working across media cinematography, photography and installation art. She holds a Bachelor in Fine Art from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.
