Fiet is an interactive object
that explores the power of movement
Fiet is a large and airy object. It explores how physical movement can be used a means of communication on the edge of physical and digital.
It is an exploration of movement as a form of expression. With a sudden noise, Fiet gets stressed; when it ’s quiet and peaceful it will move in a comfortable manner. It’s like a living organism that interacts with its environment.
It gives life to a lifeless space. It shows the power of movement. Movement allows you to communicate on an emotional level. Fiet can be calm, but also angry, stressed and cheerful. It is an exploration of movement as a form of expression. It is a more natural way of tech/human interaction.
Fiet is part of the Children’s Biennale 2024: A Better Place. It’s on display at the Groninger Museum from March-August 2024.
A Better place
The popular Children’s Biennale invites kids and adults to get hands-on with art. Expect room-filling installations you can react to or help to build. Artists from the Netherlands and abroad, including Florentijn Hofman, Hedy Tjin and Wang Ruobing, will present work that will get visitors thinking about a better world. This time round the museum is again working with young ambassadors. Follow their activities at @groningermuseumyoung and #kinderbiennalegm
