Last week Alper visited Moscow to participate in Urban Forum. He tells me he talked about “data and generativity as a practice for innovative cities.” Meanwhile I soldiered on in the Utrecht studio with half a jealous eye on his Instagram feed. On Monday I acted as sounding board for Zineb and Chris. As mentioned […]

Week 161
Week one-hundred-sixty-one was a long one. It effectively ran from Monday to Monday. I caught my breath yesterday and am back in the saddle now. Let’s see what happened.

Week 153
The not-much-gets-done-due to-summer trend continued last week. I spent some time preparing for my talk on PLAY Pilots in Helsinki. This included a trawl of the project’s blog archives. I was reminded of the wonderful work done by the studios that participated as well as the Hubbub team that worked on the website. The whole thing […]

Week 151
I guess this was one of those weeks that is typical of work during summer. Which is to say: we made some attempts at tying up loose ends on running projects and put some effort into starting up new ones but other than that not much of anything got done. I met up again with Dirk […]

Week 183
Kars started last week by giving a lecture to industrial design students at my alma mater. He walked students through Beestenbende and shared with them the finer points of interaction design for hybrid games. That week we also discussed next versions of Beestenbende with the Utrecht University Museum. We received this paper from a game […]
