I recognised the artist’s name because of a project he did with Marjolijn Dijkman called The History of Tomorrow (02007).

Turns out Vanden Eynde has done quite a few other interesting and playful interventions, often commenting on humans’ relationship to time, especially archaeological artifacts and rituals. His abiding thematic interest in what he called genetology — the science of first things” — entails asking questions including, “How will we look back to the past in the future? What will be left over?”

In this vein, check out Preservation of Ikea tea-cup (02005), Contemporary Cavedrawings (02007), Genetologic Research No. 3 (02003), and Rite for Almere (02008).
