Proud of all my students who graduated in the last few weeks! And happy to be the owner of this beautiful and limited edition book by one of them (a side project of a bigger project including a short documentary on bicultural identity).

Leestip: Why A.I. Isn't Going to Make Art
Zeer interessant artikel van Ted Chiang in The New Yorker. Boordevol interessante quotes. Een selectie: Art is notoriously hard to define, and so are the differences between good art and bad art. But let me offer a generalization: art is …
The more convincingly lifelike AI-generated text, images, audio, and now video become, the more I am drawn to tactile, analog, lo-fi, and more human forms of expression.
My sound walk mens maakt landschap maakt mens has been added to the catalogue of the excellent walk • listen • create platform.

Can ActivityPub save the internet? (David Pierce, The Verge, yesterday)
I’m hopeful, and would answer yes! Owning your own domain name should be the norm:
“But the advice you’ll hear from most people in this space is this: own your own domain. Don’t be john@/mastodon.social or anna@/facebook.com. Have a space that is yours, that belongs to you, a username and identity that can’t disappear just because a company goes out of business or sells to a megalomaniac.”
Momenteel werk ik aan een interactieve geluidswandeling /-fietstocht, als vervolg op de tentoonstelling mens maakt landschap maakt mens in Museum IJsselstein.
En goed nieuws! Onze gelijknamige videoinstallatie zal nog tot eind januari 2023 te zien zijn, nu als onderdeel van de nieuwe tentoonstelling Vensters.
Beide projecten zijn gebaseerd op diverse gesprekken die we met deelnemende kunstenaars en historici hadden over de menselijke omgang met cultuurlandschap in verleden, heden en toekomst. Met bijdragen van Niels Stomps, Wumen Ghua, Esther Polak, Ivar van Bekkum en historicus Arjan van ’t Riet. Binnenkort meer!
On behalf of everyone at my shared workspace 7zes7vijf, I wish you all a merry Christmas and very happy new year!

Total lockdown vs. herd immunity
So, yesterday was quite a surreal day over here in the Netherlands. It was the first, sunny day of ‘the ‘Covid19’ lockdown, the Dutch way’. Instead of a total lockdown like China, Italy and now Spain and France, the Netherlands are opting …

This week I started a new Moving Image course at the HKU Brede Basisopleiding (University of the Arts Utrecht). Here you can see the students creating a Light Modulator. It’s so nice to see young students getting enthusiastic by an …

I love the new hingeless strandbeest UMINAMI by Theo Jansen.
Slow motion in slow motion, through AI. Seems bad news for high speed camera manufacturers.
From now on, I will use this in my classes on continuity editing ?
