Week 234

Last week I spent all my time work­ing on the iOS app and web­site for our project AJI. Devel­op­ment has been excru­ci­at­ing­ly slow because we nev­er had a free week to just work on the project.

The sim­plic­i­ty of the app we want to make is deceiv­ing even for us. The law of con­ser­va­tion of com­plex­i­ty states that the sim­pler an appli­ca­tion is for the end user, the more com­plex it is for those mak­ing it. Deal­ing with that in between client work turned out to be unre­al­is­tic. Now that we have some prop­er veloc­i­ty again we hope to be able to share some­thing soon. It will be good to get this research out in the world where it belongs and this project out of our system.

It was also the week in which we launched our asso­ciate pro­gram with Joris Dor­mans, Ianus Keller and Sebas­t­ian Deter­d­ing sup­ple­ment­ing our scope. We are excit­ed and can’t wait what we can do together.

Kars in the mean­time was roam­ing, meet­ing peo­ple to talk about future col­lab­o­ra­tions and mak­ing arrange­ments to set­up the new Hub­bub stu­dio at the Vecht­club XL. We will be shar­ing a space there with our old friends from Tupil which is some­thing to look for­ward to.

The week end­ed with a FRIDAYS AT 7 in Utrecht and that was that.
