Ben Kreukniet

Visual Artist

Ben Kreukniet works with light, sound and video to create digitally altered environments, objects, installations, and frameworks for live performance.

Combining multiple materials and media, each installation is an interface through which to explore different ways of seeing – to observe patterns, structures, rhythms and boundaries of embodied experience. Often utilising controllable technologies and generative software tools, he draws together carefully designed elements with intuitive processes of exploration, seeking to uncover underlying logic or paradoxes and allow space for re-interpretation, unexpected outcomes and intersections.

Before starting his solo practice in 2016, Kreukniet co-directed United Visual Artists, overseeing design and development across the studio’s artistic and performative practice. He has developed installations for the Barbican, MONA and the Manchester International Festival. He has created work for brands including Nike, Bottega Veneta, Cartier and Versace, in addition to co-directing tours for Travis Scott, James Blake and Massive Attack.
