Floris Vanhoof

Floris Vanhoof, born in 1982 and based in Antwerp, Belgium, is a multimedia artist whose work blurs the boundaries between music, film, and visual art. He’s known for crafting homemade musical circuits and repurposing vintage projection technologies, using them in everything from immersive installations to expanded cinema performances and experimental music releases. Inspired by structural film and early electronic music, Vanhoof isn’t just content with nostalgia; instead, he pushes old media into new, thought-provoking directions, often overwhelming the senses to spark fresh perspectives and imaginative leaps.

His live shows are multisensory experiences, where pulsing modular waves and flickering light patterns challenge how audiences perceive sound and image. Whether he’s projecting 16mm films, manipulating 35mm slides, or letting his gong installations chime automatically in public spaces, Vanhoof’s approach is always inventive—and a little disorienting in the best possible way. With releases like "Talking Gongs," "Jardin Electronique / De Karekiet Van Karakas," and splits with fellow experimentalists, he consistently carves out his own distinct corner in the world of avant-garde artistry.
