In the installation »Infinite Loop« (2004) a camera is rotated on its side and pointed into a television at close proximity. The camera feeds the image of pixels on the screen back into the TV’s audio and video inputs. The auto focus and auto exposure struggle to gain some coherence expected in an image, but cannot. The result is a fluctuating, oscillating signal.
In »Thaw« (2004) an empty swimming pool, a large mass of black, volcanic, basalt street bricks is interlaced with bricks of white ice. The cube will fall prey to entropy over the course of approximately 8 hours. The ice bricks fuse together and hold on to the bricks as long as possible, causing the structure to warp and sway pendulously before collapse. The brick cube rests on a steel table and hovers over a mirror, which floats above the floor. The mirror has microphones attached to it, which pick up the stochastic dripping of water and is amplified in the space, counting off the time between collapses. Both projects by Chris Musgrave.

»Van de hoge« is a temporary installation in the terrain of the Royal Military Academy in Breda/Netherlands. Three diving boards are mounted to the building in which the soldiers are housed. The boards (in national colours) face the pavement of the exercise area. By Matthijs Bosman.
Sound track generated from sounds of a defective hard disk. A sensor is placed on the hard disk that records sounds like vibrations. By Gregory Chatonsky. MP3.
»Daimlerstraße 38«. The fox photos are the result of a pseudo-scientific research project about biology and geography in an industrial waste land. Tue Greenfort collected garbage to construct the photo trap for observing the foxes he discovered in that area. The animals were lured by a sausage. When the fox bit into the bait, it activated the camera connected by a cord to the sausage. One week later, the animals had learned to eat the sausage without being photographed.
»Water Cooler« uses frozen fruit juice to cool water brought up from the point in Witte de With’s cellar where it enters the building. The intervention into the functional architecture of the institution takes Tue Greenfort’s exhibition beyond the gallery space, integrating his work into the building’s infrastruce.
»Backworlds/Forworlds«. Skateperformance and sculptures by Mark Gonzales and Johannes Wohnseifer.
»Powered By Honda/Strobedots« a soundinstallation and »Without Title« from series »Hondabeats« by Johannes Wohnseifer.
»Keep on Smoking«. As an alternative to petrol, this custom-made bicycle transforms kinetic energy produced by the cyclist into smoke. Video.
»Shared Propulsion Car«. In this project, all superfluous devices were removed from an 86’ Buick Regal (such as the motor, suspension, transmission and electrical system) thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle whilst preserving its appearance. It was then equipped with 4 independent pedal and gear mechanisms that make it possible for passengers to form a self-propulsion group. The »Shared Propulsion Car« makes it possible for the passengers to drive on public roads with the goal of blocking traffic.
»Réparations«. This work is an initiative in the course of which used plastic bottles found by chance on the street are recuperated and transformed into rockets. The ballistic launching device is made up of a bicycle pump used to compress a mixture of water and air in the recuperated bottle. Through the incessant up-and-down movement of the pump, the internal pressure reaches its peak, which results in a loud explosion and the release of the bottle’s compressed contents. In this way, the bottle is transformed into a veritable rocket and shoots skyward. In walking through the city, bottles that had been abandoned in the streets were successively fired into the Paris sky. All projects by Michel de Broin.
“Divine methods/Hidden motives” – On a wall in the Kloosterkerk in Den Haag, an industrial robot-arm is mounted. The robot is holding a lit candle, moving it through the space with calculated precision. Video.
“In Places” – Video. Works by Erik Olofsen.
»Her 19th Foot«. Installation by Yutaka Sone.

»Installation Shot« consists of two almost pitch black rooms, side by side. Two ‘participants’ are invited to wear a helmet each geared up with infrared ccd camera, transmitter and small monitor. Vision is switched between the two viewers in a minimal space only containing black board and mirror arranged in identical mirrored states. The initial effect is that of dissorientation followed by a convergence with the others perceptual space. By Derek Ogbourne.

»Storage Piece« from 2006 by Haegue Yang. Steming from the situation of absolute lack of storage space, various previous works are transported and stalked in a pile on the wooden palette in order to fullfill another exhibition.
