Career

Katrien Vermeire studied photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent and art history at Ghent University. She won the quadrennial Fine Arts Award of the Province of West Flanders in 2002.[1] Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries both in Belgium and abroad, including the FOAM photography museum in Amsterdam[2] and the new Museum M in Leuven.[3]

In 2011, Vermeire's photo series Godspeed,[4] in which she followed swarms of fireflies in the Great Smoky Mountains photographing male fireflies flashing in large groups at night as a mating ritual, was selected for Foam Magazine's No. 28 Talent.[5] The Wave, a photo and film project co-directed with Sarah Vanagt, premiered at the 18th Biennale of Sydney[6] 2012 and was selected for international festivals including Locarno,[7] IDFA Amsterdam[8] and IFFR Rotterdam.[9] Her first documentary short film Der Kreislauf (A Handful) won the Kidseye Grand Prize at the 2014 Rhode Island International Film Festival.[10]

gollark: You couldn't necessarily see that in any case.
gollark: If stuff does magically run itself, I don't know *how* you would observe that.
gollark: CGoL can simulate itself, that doesn't mean it runs independently of a computer running it.
gollark: Stuff is seemingly not magically self-computing. At least, I haven't seen algorithms somehow run themselves.
gollark: That is a good question. "I think therefore I am" and all, but that really only implies that in some form "I" am running on some kind of processing hardware which can do consciousness, whether it is my foolish mortal brain in a universe with quarks and everything or a simulation of that on, I don't know, some kind of massive cellular automaton.
