Daan Couzijn

Daan Couzijn – Drying My Tears In The Cooling Fan (2018)
Daan Couzijn’s works focus on themes such as authenticity, existentialism and social psychology, which are fundamentally grounded in his background as an actor/performer. Couzijn doesn’t see the artwork as an end point, but as a simple moment in an infinite network of contributions. Refusing any form of “source-hypocrisy” he accepts all ideas as second-hand, consciously and unconsciously drawn from a million outside sources. He uses moving image, 3D software and artificial intelligence techniques as tools of expression, often resulting in physical outcomes. Besides working as a visual artist, he performs live with his music as Cousin.
