Minh Duc grew up in Germany, and his origins are in Vietnam. He studied mathematics and computer science. After a residency in Brussels in 2015, he collaborated with performers and choreographers and worked for different exhibitions, performance projects, art festivals and art institutions like workspacebrussels. So he participated in a collaboration project with Gregory Sholette, workspacebrussels and Sale Docks Venice, during the Biennale di Venezia in 2017. With the knowledge of mathematical and computer science-based concepts, he is interested in interdisciplinary art forms between art and science. His works consist of hybrid and mixed art forms from several genres, including installations, performances, projections and sound art. In 2018 he created a new concept for ongoing installation and performative works based on the mathematical concept of cellular automata, supervised by professors Stefan Schmidt and Andreas Deutsch of the Mathematical Institute and Centre for Information Services and high-performance computation in Dresden. His works consist of hybrid and mixed art forms from several genres, including installations, performances, projections and sound art. During his residency in 2019 in Montreal, Canada, he dived more into the electronic music scene, artistic computation, and electro-acoustic performances. From 2020 he was active in a small art and cultural NGO in Germany. Recently, he has been focusing more on photography and personal documentation while researching experimental musical experiments while intersecting modular synthesis and piano.

Hole of Fame e.V.

This exhibition concept presents different mix media works of both two above mentioned new media artists. The works portray a research work and examination about light and its connection with different material which were created over the last years.

This exhibition concept presents different mix media works of both two above mentioned new media artists. The works portray a research work and examination about light and its connection with different material which were created over the last years. The works consist of videos, installations, prints, photographs and light sculptures. Through different techniques of image processing like scanning or light reflection, the objects allow having an insight into other perspectives and abstract imagination as observer. The common aesthetics in all the works is the merging point of different behaviour and emergence from a kind of simplistic sources. The works represent minimalistic applications according to the material but output a largely visual, reflective and reflexive qualities. Through particular observation, the works open different and sometimes emergent feedback which creates sensitive experiences of the observer's perception.

Artificial surfaces are creating various landscapes, structures and form from real movement and material. Body scans are showing intimate movements and moments on a landscape of human interaction. A reflective abstraction implicates different personal recreation and observation. Both qualities which can be found in the videos and collages as well in the physical reflection in the following objects, that are to be presented, are brought into the foreground in the exhibition concept. Different light installations open through reflective landscapes and surfaces a new space which doesn't exist in the physical world and visualises non-existant images and spaces. The idea is to find different visualisations for unseen objects, spaces and images which results in universal-like abstractions and an unreal environment.
