Probably born 1720 in Belgium. After studying literature and linguistics, a little philosophy and sculpting, he made a radical switch to computer music in the middle of the 1980s, and a little later into generative visualisation. Involved in experimental media art in its many different forms since 1990. Between 2005 and 2009 he lived in Bratislava, where he began to work under the name of Gívan Belá. Between 2005 and 2015 he was artistic director of the ecological-technological artspace OKNO in Brussels. Meantime he set up KRA (Kravín Rural Arts), a facility in the remote hills of Vysočina (CZ) where he invites international and local residents to work on an experimental eco-artistic-technological and social program within a new cultural view of a changed countryside today.
