ARTISTIC BIO
Pim Boreel is an artist working through sound, resonance, and material tension. His work operates at the threshold of noise and silence, where listening shifts from perception into bodily and affective modes of knowing. Through installations, performances, and compositional environments, he investigates how vibration and movement unsettle fixed perceptions of linear time, reorganise spatial relations, and open conditions in which friction, vulnerability, and transformation can emerge.
His practice approaches listening as a relational and vibrational methodology that moves between embodied, material, and ecological registers. Rooted in his position as a Dutch-Indonesian practitioner, he engages with ritual technologies of perception to explore how memory, sensation, and environment continuously shape one another. Rather than seeking resolution, his work remains attentive to states of instability, disturbance and interference, understanding tension as a material condition through which perception becomes porous, and complexity can be held without demanding certainty or closure.
His work and collaborations have been internationally exhibited at museums, galleries and media art festivals such as Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (NL), Ars Electronica (AT), STRP festival (NL), FIBER Festival (NL), Dutch Design Week (NL), Eye Filmmuseum (NL), Salone Del Mobile (IT), NTU Singapore (SG), GHMP Prague City Gallery (CZ), Cultural Centre Tobačna 001 (SI), Multimedia Centre Kibla (SI), Oerol (NL) and Uncloud (NL). Besides this, his works and collaborations received nominations and awards for the Ars Electronica S+T+ARTS Prize and NTU Global Digital Art Award.
