The Image Generator

The Image Generator (TIG) is a multi-day, transdisciplinary festival at the crossroads of visual art and live experiences, including performance, sound and movement. Step into interactive installations, navigate physical interventions, and feel the pulse of charged soundscapes.
Set in a former monastic church, TIG breaks away from the classic white cube and invites you into the in-between spaces where artistic disciplines merge, clash, and transform.
TIG was launched in 2015 and based in the shared Antwerp location of its founding partners. Today, its programme is supported by a renewed coalition: Platform 0090, C-TAKT, Kunsthal Extra City, and SoAP.

Platform 0090 is a sustainable international platform. A workshop and hub for research, creation, residency, production and presentation of trans-disciplinary art with attention for interspaces and hybridity. The platform is anchored in a sustainable (inter) national network of artists and partners and converts emergent synergies into artistic processes. The organisation accompanies a group of artists in their innovative and contemporary artistic process and plays an active intermediary and service role in multidisciplinary art processes.

Kunsthal Extra City exhibits contemporary visual art in a welcoming and unique setting. As a middle-sized, Antwerp-based art organisation, they are firmly rooted in Belgium’s artistic ecosystem and offer an inspiring hub where artists, art lovers and city residents can come together. With an open gaze, intentional decision-making and attention for the artist, Kunsthal Extra City develops relevant and challenging exhibitions that serve to complement the activities of other arts organisations.

SoAP Maastricht is the artistic platform for the work of artists from different backgrounds and disciplines, that explores interactions and behaviours in the public space that we might take for granted. Drawing on their individual training and expertise, the artists create analogue interventions that offer participants a new way to experience and perceive our public spaces. The SoAP practitioners are united in their vision: to create spatial projects, share their experience and practice(s), work collaboratively, and strive for independence.

C-TAKT is a platform for transdisciplinary arts and a reference house for transdisciplinary talent. More and more artists today seek out and push or even transcend the boundaries of artistic disciplines. As a result, new ways of expressing themselves are emerging that cannot be easily categorised within a particular discipline. By supporting these artists, C-TAKT aims to provide opportunities for the development and realisation of transdisciplinary projects
