Maria Blondeel (°1963 Halle) is an intermedia artist based in Ghent, Belgium. Her work can be characterized as an experimental approach to technology, light and sound. It is an artistic research about light in urban and rural area’s.
Recently Maria Blondeel realized, as a commission of the Vlaams Bouwmeester, a permanent sonic installation for telephone for an administrative building in Hasselt, Belgium. The sound form is composed of electronic waves. During daytime one can listen to the incoming sunlight. Depending on the weather and the time of sunset and sunrise the pitch is determined by the amount of lux of the electrical lights in the atrium, offices and hallways. During the evening a light composition illuminates the atrium and can be heard every half hour until midnight.
She made works for computer controlled slide projectors, interactive installations, site specific interventions, CD’s, video’s, concerts and performances in collaboration with musicians, web projects and works with radio waves and alternative energy.
