Gustavs
Skenderscreator of circumstances
I am a creative with a personal approach, and always connecting the otherwise unseen dots, I bring an analytical, yet emotional touch to my projects.
With a technical and extensive background in photography, I have since moved on to more conceptual work, both in the realm of advertising, as well as beyond, through performance, video, and poetry, which I have explored during my studies at the Willem de Kooning academy in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
I create circumstances. Whether the energy I bring to a brainstorming session, or performing to tell a story about loving myself, or a brand activation that brings people together, it's all about those circumstances.
Together with Joris Voeten, we form Voesken.

Perfect Love is showcases the binary contrast between what AI considers “Perfect” love, and what love actually is to “real” humans. Yet, as we explore these polar differences, we notice more of a spectrum inbetween, and how we, as humans, also look for the impossible “Perfect” love.
In the middle of the song, the views switch. From a perfect AI-written, AI sung ballad, to an imperfectly human-sang glitch-pop song about love felt by us, no matter how perfect.
This project combines the use of AI language learning models (lyrics for 1st half, with prompt “Write lyrics for an AI love song about the perfect love”), 3D image scanning, in order to emphasise this digitality of our everyday life, as well as an AI voice generator (combined voices of Gustavs and Joris) for the vocals of the 1st half of the song.
