Triptyks

Triptyks is a Dutch art collective known for their innovative and thought-provoking works in the field of digital art. The group was founded in 1998 by three artists: Jeroen van der Kooij, Niels van der Leeden, and Jan van der Vegt. Their name, Triptyks, is derived from the Dutch word for "triptych," a religious painting consisting of three panels, which reflects their interest in the narrative and visual storytelling aspects of their work.

The collective's early works often explored themes of identity, memory, and the digital age. They are known for their use of digital photography, animation, and interactive media to create immersive and engaging art experiences. Their pieces often feature intricate narratives and complex visuals, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels.

One of their most notable works is "The Memory of Water," a digital installation that combines photography, animation, and interactive elements to create a poignant exploration of memory and loss. The piece features a series of photographs of a young girl, which viewers can manipulate and animate, allowing them to experience the girl's memories and emotions.

Triptyks has exhibited their work in numerous galleries and museums around the world, including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate Modern in London. Their work has been widely praised for its technical skill, emotional depth, and innovative approach to digital art. The collective continues to push the boundaries of digital art, exploring new technologies and techniques to create compelling and thought-provoking works.
