Karina van Heck (artist): Works

Expositie 'Donor design week' Eindhoven Yksi

Titel: Readymade organ

In samenwerking met Kirschner 3-D

Materiaal: 3-D printer (arnitel)

Morgen worden we ingenieurs van ons eigen lichaam. We repareren en verbeteren onze falende organen zelf. Het artificiële hart neemt ons natuurlijke hart over.

Het lichaam is geen haperende machine meer maar kan op tijd gerepareerd worden. De technologie analyseert het lichaam om het opnieuw samen te stellen, te muteren en oplossingen te creëren voor het "eeuwig" leven. Het hart als kant en klare 'uitdrukvorm'.

Course: ‘Treasures of imagination’ by Lucy Sarneel

Our hands are often over used by computers and mobile phones. The computer mouse has become an essential extension of our body. It has become second nature to grab the mouse and click and scroll with it for hours.

In response I made wearable objects that make us conscious of these habbits and routines.These works are customized for our bodies; objects that stretch, fasten and restrict our automatic movements.

We made photo and video portrets of visitors wearing striking jewellery during

the Salzburger Festspiele. The presentation was in the smallest room of the building named
gallery 'alcatraz'.

Groeps expositie De Fabriek Eindhoven Okt 2011
GEN-et(h)tis games
Working periode and one week show

'De Fabriek transformeert gedurende de werkperiode in een ambigue laboratorium'

Kunstenaars uit Eindhoven: Josine Beugels, Karina van Heck, Arnoud Rigter en Hanneke Wetzer.
Uit Enschede: Reinier Kranendonk en Petra Groen. Uit Deventer: Jeroen Diepenmaat, Jean Klare, Theo Harmelink en Patrick Mangnus.

Het werk van de deelnemende kunstenaars kenmerkt zich vooral door hergebruik van herkenbare materialen in een compleet nieuwe context. Schijnbaar lichtzinnig wordt een complex thema aan het publiek getoond in verschillende facetten; van installaties en video tot 2-dimensionaal werk; van haast microscopisch klein tot ruimte vullend.

In Juli 2011 I participated in the summer academy workshop costume design:

"In the workshop costume design we design costumes to move, we design objects with a theatrical form or we form materials to installations (mainly in relation to the body), inspired by the properties of strange material. We leave out the sewing machine and the pattern drawings and work with strange materials such as non-wovens, foam and plastics. Our tools are hair dryers , transfer press and/or printers, to experiment with colours and options to fold".

Teacher: Textile and fashion designer Anita Evenepoel.

Video Duplex Dialyse

http://www.vimeo.com/15869141

The duplex dialyse is a reaction on absurd not scientificaly proven equipment.

The duplex dialyse filters harmful bacteries from the blood. The machine furifies and pumps the clean blood back in the body. It works against different disorders in the body, overload of parasites, different bacteriums and pollution by harmful dust and when you are overtired. When you use the duplex dialyse you wil get more energy and resistance.

Check the video on Vimeo to see how it works!

Wearable 'Body speaker'

Workshop wearable CBK Den Bosch

Currently more and more medical equipment is being produced which workings create an illusion of medical solutions but show no scientifically proven effects. The absurdity of the functions and designs of such equipment has been the inspiration for the 'Body speaker'. The concept, aesthetic and the functionality are the focal points of the installation.

The 'Body speaker' is worn in direct contact with the body, by placing sound capturing membranes on to the skin. It directs the internal body sounds to a control system that enables the carrier of the 'Body speaker' to create a remix of their body sounds.

Please turn up the volume to hear the body sounds!
