Residency artists Alexey Shlyk & Ben Van den Berghe - lecture at EDPS

Alexey Shlyk & Ben Van den Berghe developed a modular system to build, adapt with photographic images, break down and reinvent model spaces. This hands-on methodology facilitates their research on the relationship between image and space. They capture their photographic and architectural experiments with scaled exhibition spaces and then edit and use these recordings in the final exhibition. The result is a continuous reinterpretation, which stimulates strong sensory perceptions.

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) is an independent supervisory authority whose primary objective is to monitor and ensure that European institutions and bodies respect the right to privacy and data protection when they process personal data and develop new policies.

As part of the Privacy Salon Artist in Residence program, the artist duo has been invited by EDPS to reflect on issues of data protection and privacy and create an artistic dialogue to result in a number  of site-specific installations in its headquarters in Brussels.

On December 22 2022, they were invited at EDPS for a lecture about the first part of their collaboration.
