Biography : Olga Mink
From http://www.videoart.net/

Olga Mink(1974, NL) works as a video-artist in the Netherlands. Her work has been exposed at various festivals and media-events, in Holland, UK, Belgium, Spain, East-europe & White Russia and recently also in Tokyo/Japan. Mink develops visual concepts in motion-graphics and new media. In her work she explores various techniques to create her typical contemporary aesthetics. Often her work relates to graphic-design and architectural environments. In her work she zooms into a subject in order to analyse and truly 'see' the essentials and/or beauty. Next to live performance and video-graphics, she also works on conceptual-based projects and video-installations. For example she has created the interactive video-installation 'Video-matic', for a Dutch Cultural Center in 2004. This installation explores the public environment, by use of a touchscreen inside the building and a video-projection at night. Networked interaction is being developed with the use of an online application and a website. As a video-performer she often works with Michel Banabila, a Dutch music-composer. Together they perfom live and create a cinematic experience of sound and image. As a visual performer Olga Mink works also under the name of VJ Oxygen and 'Visual.girlbot.facility'. She released work on VJ-label NOTV DVD's Visual Music2, and on the LightrhythmVisuals-label. (SF/USA)
