Why this name?
Clark|KENT was the result of a comment made by Anton Viergever,director of the EARATIONAL Festival in the Netherlands, that stated:"You enter here only with your laptop and when you start, the room is fulled with sounds and images...much like Clark Kent that turns into Superman"
Do you play live?
Clark|KENT mostly makes video/audio performances specially the on-going multi-site specific installation "CITYSCAPES"
The most special moment so far was to make the opening act for PANSONIC at the EARATIONAL Festival

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet and specially sites like this one have brought some control back to the artist. In the case of this project, to distribute music of this project is an incentive for people to go and watch the performances
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No,because no major label would sign up this project at all
