Sara Kolster
Kolster [NL 1978]? is a video and new-media artist with a background in web / graphical design and webbased-projects. During her study @ the Design Academy, she was involved in several locative [media]? projects as the Acoustic Space Lab in August 2001, which brought together an international team of 30 sound artists, communityradio activists, and scientists to experiment with a 32 meter antenna, recording sounds and data from planets, communication satellites and the surrounding environment. Other projects she participated in were Design Solidario [BR, 2001]? and the Karosta project [LV, 2003]? together with Derek Holzer.
Recently, the focus of her work shifted more towards video and film; capturing details from urban locations, visualizing fragments of stories of these environments. She uses different strategies, from time-based media (video, film) to appropriated research methods belonging to different observational disciplines (journalism, documentary & archeology).
