SYNCHRONATOR is an audiovisual project by Bas van Koolwijk and Gert-Jan Prins. The artists are devoted to explore the possibilities created by modern equipment, both analogue and digital, in the field of generating
visuals which are not based on a proper video signal. Instead, they find
alternative solutions in the very technical structure of the hardware, thus generating visuals that expose and reflect the true nature of machines behind the commonly known TV picture.
The project is a continuation of medium specific experiments between
image and sound from the early years of video art, for which they have
developed their own electronic devices.

- Van Koolwijk uses both sound and image, be it analogue or in numerical code, as interchangeable data.
He produces visual and acoustic compositions in which both manifestations powerfully interact.
His works can often be seen as an attack on the illusion of the medium itself. - Gert-Jan Prins focuses on the sonic and musical qualities of electronic noise and percussion and investigates its relationship with the visual.
While he started his career as a drummer, his works include performances, sound-installations, compositions, electronic circuits and collaborations with other musicians, visual artists, composers, and dancers.
