Thijs Zweers
"Dance Dance Revolution", is Thijs Zweers’ new series named after a famous computer game where physical action has a reaction in a digital world, enticing the player to continue playing. The series consists of charcoal drawings combined with neon lighting. Zweers makes his drawings using screenshots of virtual scenes that he usually make himself, but sometimes comes across on the Internet. These virtual paradise-like pictures show the volatility of the Internet and can present itself as an utopian environment adapting itself to the needs of the beholder, smartly disguised as reality.
