Rick Schamle (1999, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) is a Graphic designer who studied at Artez, Arnhem. He sees everything as an experiment and that is what keeps the process interesting and raw. He likes to dive into materials which translate to installations, posters, publications, video and audio-visual work. He likes to make the audience question something rather then spoil.
His curiosity for new forms, media, methods and theories are endless. Sometimes that means staying an amateur on a certain form or method but that makes the project accessible like a first layer.

STRANGENESS IS:
STRANGENESS IS is an audio/visual installation consisting of four LED screens, a rock, two tractor tire tracks, two speakers, a sub, moss, and water. It explores our relationship with non-human entities. The sound moves from strange to familiar, interacting with video that shifts between separation and unity.
The work draws on Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO), a philosophy that argues for the equality of all beings: human and non-human. It challenges anthropocentrism and the way we “other” the world around us. The installation asks you to treat the stranger with care, to see that strangeness is earthy, cautious, intelligent, and relational.
