What i’ve been working on for the past six months
To start the new year, I wanted to share a brief roundup of what I’ve been working on over the past six months, especially for the non-Dutch-speaking folks reading this (for those who speak Dutch, I can recommend subscribing to my newsletter!).
- I created a 68-page paper magazine celebrating the tenth anniversary of my newsletter, De Circulaire. I ran a successful crowdfunding campaign, raising almost €8,000 from 242 donors, and distributed nearly 300 copies in December.
- Together with my audio collective Merel uit de Machine, I debuted Bakkus, the Storygobbler at Cinekid Amsterdam in October. It is an audio installation for children, where they co-create a short story with an AI-powered storyteller. We also presented the installation at the annual DAFF Film Debat at Felix Meritis in Amsterdam.
- With the same collective, I presented DRIFT, an open-world audio experience, at the Dutch Film Festival (NFF) in September. The project was nominated for a Golden Calf, and we gave a live performance at the Stadsschouwburg in Utrecht.
- For MU Hybrid Art House, I built a new landing page (the Art Hive) and a separate exhibition site called the Art Hall.
- I served as an advisor for two rounds of the Digital Culture funding committee at the Creative Industries Fund NL.
That’s it. I’m busy with other projects until the end of February, but after that I’m available again for new projects.
