Since the early 1960s, wildman Ludo Mich has been actively operating on the fringes (and the fringes of the fringes) of the Antwerp underground art scene. Ludo exists inside the "M Dimension:" the world of his own creation in which he has produced a significant body of work across visual art, holographic sculpture, Fluxus film, performance, avant garde science and philosophy.
