Visual artist Arnout Hulskamp is an acclaimed vj and creator of video
installations.

Hulskamp is fascinated by all things new. He has developed his own image
manipulation software called 'Open Wound' to create a brand new visual
language. At the same time he has an ongoing love affair with the "old
masters" from the worlds of painting and cinema, like Piet Mondriaan and
Bert Haanstra.

Several of his vj projects shine a new light on ancient achievements by
creating a relationship with the present. His style can be described as
playful, poetic and cinematographic.

As a vj he played with the likes of Michiel Borstlap, James Holden,
Laurent Garnier, Trentemöller, The Field, Henrik Schwarz, Francois K,
Derrick May, Ellen Allian and many more. He played in venues in Paris, New
York City, Geneva, in places across The Netherlands and in many of the
popular venues in his hometown of Amsterdam, like 11, Melkweg, Paradiso
and Arti. He has a residency in Trouw.

Hulskamp frequently joins forces with French visual artist Chloé Tallot.
Typically, they do multiscreen performances telling little stories with
strong visual contrasts between their video channels, eventually blending
completely into each other.

With his studio Aaiqu (all art is quite useless) he works on assignments
for video-based projects, e.g. a 3D-videomapping projection for
TEDxAmsterdam, a PDA video tour for the Zeeuws Museum and a sailing
projection project for Museumn8. For both of these last two projects,
Hulskamp was awarded a Gouden Reiger, the Dutch award for outstanding
projects in the field of audiovisual media.
