DREAMING DEMONS
AN UNTOLD FUTURE
By Leffe Goldstein and Kinetic Humor
In a black&white post-human scenery, the hot rod’s engine roars and waits. Bottled demons move up and down. We stand and stare at the untold story of Dreaming Demons.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The work of Ivo Schoofs (1972), is a celebration of movement in its most natural occurrence; based on natural and physical phenomena, gravity, heat, light, friction and wonder. The work offers the spectator(s), through large-scale audio-visual installations, an experience to return to the base of the forces of natural movement. Technology and science are made visible and sometimes, if possible, comprehensive. The black boxes are opened, the oil can be smelled and the gears are rotating. New sensory experiences and insights are formed upon a base of nature itself.
Ed van Oosterhout a.k.a. Leffe Goldstein (1971), is a graphic artist and designer, a late bloomer with a fettish for pure black and white graphics. Try to imagine just zero’s and one’s. A passion for Asian culture and it’s saga’s juxtaposed with early 2Oth century Western graphics. Absurdistic visual storytelling without the clutter.
Pepe Heijnen (1978) is interested in connecting technology and art. Since childhood, he has been working with cables, ropes, and other connections. As a broadly trained electrical engineer in high and low voltage, he specializes in electronics and automation. Due to his wonder for machinery and motion, physics, lightning, and the world of Nikola Tesla, he is fascinated by tying up technical loose ends in art, fiction, and experience. Pepe has created several works for GLOW and other light art festivals.
Richard van Kruysdijk specializes in hybrid forms of multimedia art and live performance. Under the name Epic Rick, he creates a large amount of analog effects and intuitive soundscapes, where improvisation plays a significant role. In addition to his visual work, he also works as a producer composer and multi-instrumentalist on music projects, ranging from post-punk to electronic drone, from multimedia theater productions to industrial techno. He is also involved as a composer and live musician with various (inter)national dance companies. His musical work can be heard on numerous releases and on stages all over the world, from alternative pop clubs to avant-garde festivals and theaters.
