Michiel van Bakel

Michiel van Bakel studied astronomy and psychology for several years before he chose for free expression at the Art Academy in Arnhem. Van Bakel has made films and videos as well as sculptures and interactive multimedia-installations. He combines the elementary foundations of photography and video with digital animation techniques.
