Els Viaene

Els Viaene began her career in documentary-making for national radio. The realistic treatment of sound has evolved into more abstract environments, using musicality and the natural rhythm of ambient and electronic sound that she animates according to the principle of collage. Working on these sound materials for performances but also for internet games, video art or architectural installations, she makes the listeners travel in imaginary naturalistic and organic environments.
