Telemagic
Telemagic is an art+technology collective consisting of the spiritual surfers Ymer Marinus (they/them), Roos Groothuizen (she/her) and Cyanne van den Houten (they/she). They make sense of the mysteries that revolve around the human connection to digital technology and believe that invisible technology is not something to be feared. In their work, the machine is always in control. As an open media-lab, Telemagic experiments with the future of media by creating manifestations, tools and interventions through (interdisciplinary) collaboration and hacking.
