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 213

By Kars | Published: September 23, 2013

This was one of those in-between weeks so I’ll keep things short. I wrote up and pub­lished a project page for Rip­ple Effect. This was a very inter­est­ing and reward­ing engage­ment with Shell, which we hope will see fol­low-up in the next year. Alper returned from Japan. I updat­ed him of the things that went […]

Week 212

By Kars | Published: September 17, 2013

On Mon­day last week I returned from a fun stay in War­saw. That same day, I attend­ed This hap­pened – Utrecht #17. As almost always, the talks were love­ly hon­est accounts of how things were made. I was par­tic­u­lar­ly tak­en with Mieke Mei­jer’s sto­ry about her dis­cov­ery of a wood-like mate­r­i­al made of old news­pa­pers. […]

Week 211

By Kars | Published: September 10, 2013

Last week, Alper was away on hol­i­day in Japan, mak­ing a coura­geous effort to drink all the cof­fee in Japan. His trav­els con­tin­ue this week, let’s hope he does not spon­ta­neous­ly com­bust. I was joined by Simon on Tues­day for a day of work on ASARI. We detailed the design of the toy­like inter­ac­tive info­graph­ics […]

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 […]

Week 209

By Kars | Published: August 26, 2013

As you may have noticed, Alper, Simon and myself have been run­ning a tiny app project on the side. It’s called Cup­pings and it helps you find good cof­fee spots near you. This project grew out of a shared pas­sion for cof­fee and actu­al­ly start­ed out as an idea for a cof­fee tast­ing diary app […]

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 […]

Week 206–207

By Kars | Published: August 12, 2013

I’m writ­ing up two weeks in one go, for no par­tic­u­lar rea­son oth­er than that I was on a short hol­i­day in Stock­holm last week even though it was my turn to do notes. For shame. (STHLM is a rec­om­mend­ed des­ti­na­tion, I should add.) Alper wrapped up project SAME togeth­er with Sebas­t­ian. They doc­u­ment­ed the […]

Week 205

By Alper | Published: July 30, 2013

Last week was a deci­sive week for both ASARI and SAME, projects in two coun­tries that both went through their final phas­es. Kars prepped ASARI for a client pre­sen­ta­tion. He went through the con­cept with the Info.nl design team and sketched out our con­cepts for the final pre­sen­ta­tion which was received well. We have thought […]

Week 204

By Kars | Published: July 22, 2013

In Berlin, Alper spent time prepar­ing for an upcom­ing two-day work­shop on-site for SAME. He’s chew­ing on com­pli­cat­ed stuff togeth­er with Sebas­t­ian, involv­ing on-the-job learn­ing in an unfa­mil­iar cul­ture. We’re look­ing at apply­ing prin­ci­ples of self-deter­mi­­na­­tion the­o­ry and we need to do as much of it with ana­log means. No mean feat. Mean­while, I most­ly […]
