Interest: - [Combination of Sound and Image]
The equal relationship or balance in the use of image and sound is an important aspect in my work. This can vary from documentary and video-/film-installations to web- and performance-art.

Bio: Kolster [NL 1978] is a video and new-media artist with a background in web / graphical design and webbased-projects. During her study [at] the Design Academy, she was involved in several locative [media] projects as the Acoustic Space Lab in August 2001, which brought together an international team of 30 sound artists, communityradio activists, and scientists to experiment with a 32 meter antenna, recording sounds and data from planets, communication satellites and the surrounding environment. Other projects she participated in were Design Solidario [BR, 2001] and the Karosta project [LV, 2003] together with Derek Holzer. Recently, the focus of her work shifted more towards video and film; capturing details from urban locations, visualizing fragments of stories of these environments. She uses different strategies, from time-based media (video, film) to appropriated research methods belonging to different observational disciplines (journalism, documentary & archeology).
