Residual is a sculptural series I created during the group exhibition Echoes of Biotoop at @kel__30 . I spent a month working in the basement of the former biology lab, surrounded by traces of past experiments and marks left by heavy equipment. Over time, the atmosphere and physical remnants in the space began to shape the direction of the work. At the time, I had no studio or storage, but plenty of old works and leftover materials. Recycling and reconfiguring are central to my practice, and for this series, they became essential. Some pieces include subtle kinetic gestures: Arduino-driven components that introduce twitchy, glitchy movements and a quiet, mechanical presence.In the next posts, I’ll share more of the works from this series. The 1,3,4 images were taken by the amazing Hanne van der Velde

NL: Als je de presentatie van @microsoft__paint dit weekend hebt gemist, is dit een kans om wat documentatie te bekijken. @microsoft__paint werkte de afgelopen maand met @stichting_landfall @kunstwerkkolderveen samen aan een trajectonderzoek gesponsord door Netwerk Cultuur en Natuur. Haar onderzoek richtte zich op de omliggende landschappen met een besef van de industriële impact op de regio en veranderingen door de jaren heen. Helia Rafie is een interdisciplinair kunstenaar uit Teheran, Iran. Haar werk onderzoekt de wisselwerking tussen fysieke en digitale rijken, met de nadruk op hoe ruimtes en plaatsen worden geconstrueerd, gedefinieerd en opnieuw gedefinieerd. Door de nadruk te leggen op de transformerende kracht van technologie en storytelling, onderzoekt ze de spanningen tussen tegenstellingen: digitaal en analoog, natuurlijk en onnatuurlijk, verleden en toekomst, mythe en feit. ENG: If you missed @microsoft__paint presentation this weekend, here an opportunity to see some documentation. @microsoft__paint was working with @stichting_landfall @kunstwerkkolderveen for the last month in a trajectory research sponsored by Netwerk Cultuur and Natuur. Her research focused on the surrounding landscapes with an awareness of the industrial impact on the region and changes across the years. Helia Rafie is an interdisciplinary artist from Tehran, Iran. Her work explores the interplay of physical and digital realms, focusing on how spaces and places are constructed, defined, and redefined. By emphasizing the transformative power of technology and storytelling, she investigate the tensions between opposites—digital and analog, natural and unnatural, past and future, myth and fact. #kunstindrenthe #heliarafie #kunstwerkolderveen #stichtinglandfall #provinciedrenthe #contemporarydrenthe #artistresidency #netwerkcultuurennatuur #artindrenthe #artisticresearch #drenthe
