He produces visual and acoustic compositions in which both manifestations powerfully interact. His works can often be seen as an attack on the illusion of the medium itself. Van Koolwijk develops his own hardware and software applications. http://www.basvankoolwijk.com/   Tina Frank ina Frank (AT) is a graphic designer and media artist working as a professor of visual communication and the head of the Department for Graphic Design and Photography at The University for Art and Industrial Design in Linz.
