Last week start­ed out with a vis­it to the Utrecht Med­ical Cen­tre to dis­cuss a pos­si­ble new project.

By Kars | Published: October 8, 2012

At the start of last week, I pre­pared for and deliv­ered a num­ber of pre­sen­ta­tions at TFI’s inspi­ra­tion day about games & her­itage. The first was a short case as part of a ses­sion lead by Valen­ti­jn Byvanck, about ways in which games might enrich a hypo­thet­i­cal car muse­um. This ses­sion was aimed at identifying […]

After last week’s mega-wee­­knotes I’ll keep these short. Not in the least because they effec­tive­ly cov­er two, maybe three days, if I include Sat­ur­day. To start with the lat­ter: I hand­ed the stu­dents that I have been coach­ing the past half year at the Utrecht School of the Arts their MA degrees. There were short […]

Week 127

By Kars | Published: January 14, 2012

It was one of those weeks where Mur­phy’s Law was bound to rear its ugly head. And it did. Luck­i­ly, we got through it with lit­tle more than a scratch. The stu­dio sched­ule for this week was packed, var­i­ous appoint­ments for dif­fer­ent projects involv­ing a diverse con­fig­u­ra­tion of peo­ple. I also had a speak­ing engagement […]
