Last year I graduated at Sint Lukas university college of art and
design as master in audiovisual arts, specialized in experimental film
and media art, with my graduation project "Optical Theater of the
Sinners".
Like the title suggests, this is a performance-installation that is
based on Emile Reynaud's "Theatre Optique" and for which I have build
a working version of his invention.
This performance-Installation was very well received by the graduation
jury and is now selected for the Amsterdam Fringe Festival (from
1/09/'11 until 11/09/'11).
Although it works, I am still optimizing it because there are still
some imperfections that I would like to solve (also with the
performance in Amsterdam in mind), in which help of experts always is
welcome.
So if you have a great knowledge of the "Theatre Optique" itself,
mechanics, lenses (or how to know which one I should use) or something
else you think I might not know, don't hesitate to contact me!
People who are curious or interested can have a look at the temporary
web-site I have build for this project, where you can find some
pictures and registrations of the "Optical Theater of the Sinners"

And please do leave me your honest feedback!
Greetings,
hans Van Wambeke
