the multifaceted EYE Filmmuseum in Amsterdam.
The Quistrebert’s projected creation, STRIPES 5, was selected as demonstrating the best use of technology and the location around the theme of ‘Bridging the Gap.’
The panel of judges comprised Lennart Booij – artistic director of Amsterdam Light Festival (Jury Chair); Jaap Guldemond – director of exhibitions EYE Filmmuseum; Marente Bloemheuvel- associate curator of EYE Filmmuseum; Jozef Hey – founder and owner of BeamSystems; Giny Vos – artist; Paul James – editor in chief, ARC Magazine; and Hartmut Kulessa from Panasonic Europe.
Commenting on the winning entry, Booij said: “The jury was very complementary about
the composition and the use of the building in this display, including its underside. The
artwork also answers the question presented by the challenges of projecting onto a large surface. Creatively, it is graphically very strong and reflects on art disciplines such as ‘opart’ and early abstract cinema.”
