Since 1997, over 200 sessions of stray images and sound have been organised. Artists, writers, scientists and musicians present work in progress, experiment or present work that doesn't fit into their oeuvre (yet). A specific and unique stage for diverse and hybrid works which don't fit comfortably into galleries or museums.

Rave Nature was build for the Festival Cement (=concrete), a cultural event that takes place every year in Maastricht. We developed a stage in the 'Enci-forrest' near the marl quarry of the Factory Enci. They produce concrete and are the main sponsor of the 'Cement Festival'. Their 20 years lasting digging contract causes a lot of problems for the natural environment. The platform is a model for a proposal for a concrete platform in the forest. For the Festival we build a light and sound installation on the platform. The public came one night with a bus to the location.
On the big screen in the Escape, we see the platform shimmering between the trees and suddenly we're confronted with a lightshow with disco lights and the rave-song 'Move youre ass' by Scooter. The moving lights seem to dance on the music in this empty club.
