Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

This is an audiovisual installation rather than a DJ set. White Space uses a spinning blue-and-white light core plus generative music that changes with visitors' pose and position, so the sound is reactive and collective rather than linear.

More about Matthias Oostrik

Oostrik works at the intersection of digital art, installation, film, and architecture, and he builds pieces that turn audience movement into part of the work. His site shows a long run of public light installations and motion-reactive pieces, including projects in Dutch public space and an open-source motion toolkit.

His project Bijlmer Moodwall won the 2009 Dutch Design Award for best project in public space. In their own words
