when: January 18 2025, 11:00 – 16:00

at: resort HQ, Nieuwe Sint Jansstraat 35, Groningen

 

On the Saturday of ES/NS, het resort organises a brunch & wellness as part of Talent van Hier. Take a break from too much party, beer and noise. Groningen-based artist Igor Bobeldijk will pamper you.

During the performative buffet you will be at your beck and call. Between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., a healthy brunch will be served by Igor's ‘virtual’ wellness assistants. In his technological utopia, wellness means much more than relaxation. Adriaan Bon, aka Zachte Man, provides music – live! With ambient sci-fi wellness, he provides a retreat at het resort.

Sit back and relax and let the future of the buffet come to you.

 

about

Igor Bobeldijk experiments with robot prototypes, physical interfaces, and code. His works highlight the science fiction condition of today, often referencing the absurd. Submarine cables, data centers immersed in oil, and robot warehouses are examples of the real infrastructure of this moment. Igor uses discarded electronics and basic materials in an attempt to get a head start on the future while mimicking these inaccessible high-tech forms.

 

It is not obvious to fluctuate between classical music, electronic music, dj-ing, visual arts or film, and this also failed dramatically when you ask Zachte Man. Absence and deleted works became a recurring feature of this artist. Zachte Man is a composer/producer who does not like music at all. In fact, Zachte Man does not like anything. But the futuristic show by Igor Bobeldijk makes him do something. Zachte Man will help you eat the food that will be served. What’s on the menu? Digestive music.
