While minimalism traditionally seeks to eliminate excess, van den Berg’s approach does the opposite: he at the micro‑scale to achieve a new form of visual restraint. In his own words:
“Mimk’s piece functions like a visual . At the micro‑level you have discrete data points (the tiles); at the macro‑level, those points resolve into a smooth, continuous tone. It perfectly encapsulates the exhibition’s theme: how we translate between scales.” Mimk-103 Mosaic01-55-34 Min
