Works
Maarten Vanden Eynde travels constantly around the world to observe divers complexe phenomena (ecology, anthropology, archeology). Vanden Eynde has invented "Genetology", the science that covers several research fields and that forms the theoretical bases of his practice.

The hybrid composition of society, the more and more developed sociotechnical networks make slide the forces but also the power stakes. The transformations are evidently multiple and we can find this in the formal aspect of his work.
In Belgium his practice has received visibility in amongst others the
