By Alper | Published: December 6, 2013

This Octo­ber Kars and I were in Lon­don (see notes for that week) to do a work­shop titled Play­ing with Rules at Mozil­la Fes­ti­val among many oth­er things. We mod­i­fied an exer­cise we had used pre­vi­ous­ly in a work­shop with Sebas­t­ian Deter­d­ing. The task is to take Parcheesi and mod­i­fy it to address a social […]

Week 223

By Alper | Published: December 3, 2013

I spent a fair part of last week video edit­ing the results of the work­shop we did at the Mozil­la Fes­ti­val in Lon­don a cou­ple of weeks ago. Edit­ing demoes into some­thing con­cise with­out los­ing the essence is a very time con­sum­ing but fun process. We’ll share the video as soon as we get a […]

Week 222

By Alper | Published: November 25, 2013

Last week con­clud­ed our vis­it to New York. We’re very hap­py that we man­aged to squeeze in meet­ing lots of friends in those cou­ple of days. We also attend­ed Sleep No More, an immer­sive the­ater project by Punch­drunk which is tout­ed as the best in this field. The expe­ri­ence and set dec­o­ra­tion were impec­ca­ble but […]

Week 220

By Alper | Published: November 11, 2013

Last Mon­day Kars hand­ed over the run­ning engage­ments to me and tied up some loose ends for ASARI and SABA before jump­ing on a plane to NYC. He’s there for a week of sight-see­ing with his love­ly wife before I fol­low him for work. That left me with a pro­duc­tive week where I inte­grat­ed the […]

Week 218

By Alper | Published: October 28, 2013

Last week Kars and I went on a trip to Lon­don which was chock-full of things to do and peo­ple to meet. What had start­ed out as a vis­it to Play­ful quick­ly snow­balled out of con­trol. Take a seat, these wee­knotes are a bit longer than usu­al. We put some fin­ish­ing touch­es on our work […]

Week 216

By Alper | Published: October 14, 2013

Last week was busy again with us plan­ning the last quar­ter of the year. 2013 will be over before we know it and we’re going to make the best of it. The Cup­pings cof­fee tast­ing games is pro­ceed­ing excel­lent­ly. The game has received an updat­ed lay­out and is being pushed out to be test­ed at […]

Week 214

By Alper | Published: September 30, 2013

While I was com­ing down from my cold, Kars spent the week criss­cross­ing the Nether­lands attend­ing meet­ings of var­i­ous kinds. One such meet­ing was about the future of edu­ca­tion in a tru­ly idyl­lic loca­tion pic­tured below. ASARI is in its final phase, run­ning through spread­sheets to see how the design will work out with real […]

Week 210

By Alper | Published: September 2, 2013

Last Mon­day I was in Utrecht to work on site with Kars and take care of some for­mal­i­ties we had pre­pared when Kars was in Berlin. On Tues­day while I was in the train back, Kars was in Ams­ter­dam catch­ing up with a bunch of good friends (some­thing I had done the night before by […]

Notes on project AJI (part 3)

By Alper | Published: August 22, 2013

This is the third and final part of a post about AJI, a self-com­mis­­sioned research project about pub­lic protests. Read the first and sec­ond post or con­tin­ue read­ing below. The most impor­tant idea is that a protest is a per­for­mance of civic resis­tance and sol­i­dar­i­ty and as such it has a broad swath of spec­ta­tors […]

Week 208

By Alper | Published: August 19, 2013

Last week was awe­some because Kars was in Berlin for most of the week work­ing from KANT. We have a high­ly func­tion­al way of work­ing-apart-togeth­­er set­up which pow­ers most of the stu­dio’s work but there is a lev­el of cre­ative ener­gy that is hard to achieve over a Face­Time con­nec­tion. Besides that we also did […]
