For the last month or two I've been working towards an exhibition in the corridor space of the Goethe Insitute in Rotterdam. Unusually for me, it's been a fun process that I've enjoyed working on from day one. This project kind of began last year whilst I was on a residency at a lovely place called …

I made bread for the first time in a while earlier this week. It felt good to do something productive after being hit by a fairly heavy stomach bug the week before. Somehow making bread felt like I was landing back into life in the Netherlands. One month ago I was in Sydney having a pretty great …

This is just a little note to say that I am currently taking part in a residency programme at Sasso Residency in Ticino, CH. I actually plan to write a few more posts on here as part of the things that I do during my month here, but for now I am journaling my time and thoughts in quite sporadic …

In April, earlier this year, Kirsten and I went on a trip to Topolo, a village on the Italian-Slovenian border. It's a remote and beautiful place, not only because of its geography but also because of its inhabitants. We were there to make a website for Robida , a collective exploring what …

I'm sitting in my apartment in the dark listening to Tangerine Dream's Optical Race (1988). It feels good even if the laptops screen is slightly too bright and bringing on a bit of a headache. Turn brightness down tap tap tap ~*... I've been camping this weekend with W and her family. The bird song …

I became a real teacher in November 2021. Real is in italics because I'm not sure if I feel like whatever a real teacher is and I certainly don't feel certified to be one. I guess there is a difference somehow because my experience with being the educator rather than the educatee was mostly formed …

Yesterday I read Lukas W's contribution to the Are.na Annual 2022 (the theme of which is Portals). It was great to be welcomed into the book by two things that I pay a lot of attention to, waves and webcams. It was also somehow reassuring to know that someone else also collects screenshots from …

In my apartment there is a dinner table. It's where I'm sitting right now as I type this out. I only have two chairs for it at the moment, but soon it will be four. I call it the dinner table but actually there is a lot more that goes on here. At the moment on the table is a stack of books …

Last week Emma and I hosted a workshop at the Critical Inquiry Lab MA at Design Academy Eindhoven. It was the second time we had done this particular workshop. We call it 'Once Upon a Time in Desktoppywood'. The idea of the workshop is to show how video doesn't have to be this big bloated medium …

I decided that I would not write a newsletter this year because and instead I would start a blog. A place where I can write down my thoughts and ideas. I actually started writing a newsletter so what you find below will be a version of that letter: This evening, a Tuesday evening at 8:30, I’m …

It rained a lot on Christmas day this year. I think it rained from the moment I was awake to the moment I went to sleep. Unfortunately this meant that we couldn't go for our normal Christmas walk so easily. We went for a small one around the fields and got drenched. It made me realise I need …

I'm sitting in on the big sofa in my parents living room. There are 3 pillows, a soft blanket and a patchwork blanket on here with me. I'm facing the fireplace where there are some glowing embers and whispy flames giving off an ambient warmth. I'm listening to a show on NTS by Adam Oko with Cool …
