Xavier van Wersch

The work of Xavier van Wersch reflects an organical approach to the field of audio-visual art. In his compositions, performances and installations there is always an element of controlled chaos. He explores the relation between man and machine by conceiving the two of them together as a hybrid system in which erratic behaviour is the principal condition for interaction. Another common theme in his work is recycling. Like a modern Frankenstein, he constructs his machinery from parts of deceased equipment and dysfunctional devices.
