Title: LONG / ing Artist: Rosa van Walbeek Year: 2025 Detail: 30" film Artist website: www.rosavanwalbeek.nl Link to view: https://vimeo.com/1151347729
Description: The film shows the constant motion of landscape surrounding a cyclist and plays with speed and duration while trying to capture stillness in movement and movement in stillness. The images are accompanied by the many different sounds of the wind and a whispering voice draws you into the mind of this human trying to move away from landscape, where the surrounding ending at the borders of her senses is the background to human life, into nature in which she is equally animal - equally earth.
Where/how does this artwork involve cycling?: The material for the film is shot during a five month bicycle tour from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia to Ushuaia, Argentina. This trip has completely heightened my sensitivity to the passing of time, sound, movement, composition and colour.
Title: Biological_Data_Transmission Artist: Myles Merckel Year: 2023 Link: 2023.fiberfestival.nl/myles-merckel
About: Biological_data_transmission is concerned with creating systems for identifying, amplifying and archiving airborne organic particulates and their global movements within the earths complex weather systems.
Exhibitions: ‘Fragments’ @ FIBER Festival (DoorOpenSpace, AMS), presented @ KNMI during FIBER Festival WeatherScapes lab
Title: Hedgerow Hegemony Artist: James Crossley Year: 2025
About: Cycling around England and Wales’ small towns, a palpable fear of the outside world, the unknown, seeps through the streets. These placards took imagery and text gathered on that trip and presented them as protest placards for public use to approach issues of division in those same towns.
Installation: Inserted into community spaces throughout villages in Surrey, UK.
Title: De Bewaarders (12”) Artist: Juul Schöpping Detail: 12”, 35mm black & white film Year: 2023
About: Rustling windmills, washed-up objects and an active nuclear power plant compose a dystopian landscape at the coast of Borssele. A few collectors wander the beach in search of fossils. Yet, their discoveries yield very different kinds of objects…
Cycling Production: Cycling back & forth between a home in Ghent (BE) and the filming location Borssele, Zeeland (NL), the bike became a place to prepare, reflect, digest & imagine the film and all of its possibilities.
Title: Lucid Plexus Artist: Sasha & Pavel Rotts Year: 2025-2028 Link: https://sashapasha.com/home/projects/lucid-plexus
About: Lucid Plexus is a study of forms of historical memory, through the lens of collective remembrance, personal testimony, and intergenerational narrative. Anchored in the experience of the Ingrian Finns — an ethnic minority inhabiting Russian territories since the 17th century — it traces a lineage shaped by displacement, captivity, war, and systemic scarcity.
Implementation: Lucid Plexus adopts slow modes of movement as its core methodology — cycling expeditions, walking routes, and situated fieldwork woven through the Nordic-Baltic region, a landscape carrying the memory of a wandering fate of those fleeing WWII, post-war repressions, persecution, deportation, persecution, deportation and labour camps. These practices are not merely logistical, but epistemological: a way of thinking through terrain, of tracing memory with the body.
Title: Portal Artist: Samuel Organ Year: 2025 Link: https://samuelorgan.bandcamp.com/album/portal
About: An ambitious journey in search for Stillness. Samuel loaded his bike with camping equipment and a portable music set-up, and headed out into the wild Highlands of Scotland for 10 days in search of some of the most remote locations in the U.K to compose music, inspired by the feeling of stillness. The journey would take him up mountains, into caves, past crystal blue lochs and into make shift studio spaces in remote 'bothies' (stone shelters) to create a new collection of songs.

Cycling Production: Sonically the record focuses on hypnotic synthesised arpeggiations and subtle field recordings, all written on a portable synthesizer/sequencer set-up stashed in a pannier bag. The music reflects the cyclical and peaceful nature of cycle touring, and the way that an adventurer can harmoniously interact with natural landscapes through a method of environmentally conscious travel that can be slow and meaningful.
