nietklonen

Nietklonen is a Dutch term that translates to "non-clones" in English. It refers to a group of artists, musicians, and writers who have emerged in the Netherlands in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The term was coined by the Dutch art critic and curator, Jan Hoet, in the 1990s to describe a new generation of artists who were not interested in the traditional methods of art production, such as painting or sculpture, but rather in the use of new technologies and media.

The nietklonen movement is characterized by its experimental and interdisciplinary approach to art. Artists in this movement often use digital technologies, such as the internet, video, and computer-generated imagery, to create their work. They are also known for their interest in social and political issues, and many of their works are critical of the consumerist society and the role of technology in modern life.

Some of the most well-known nietklonen artists include Jeroen de Vries, who is known for his large-scale installations that use digital technologies to create immersive environments, and Daan Kamp, who creates interactive and participatory artworks that often involve the audience in the creative process.

The nietklonen movement has had a significant impact on the Dutch art scene, and its influence can be seen in many of the country's contemporary art galleries and museums. The movement has also inspired a new generation of artists and creatives in the Netherlands and beyond, who are exploring the possibilities of new technologies and media in their work.
