Week 239

This week, like most recent ones before it, was most­ly about AJI. We wrapped up a sprint focused on get­ting the web­site in shape, reviewed it and planned a new one. The next sprint is all about “fix­ing bro­ken win­dows”. We also decid­ed to start think­ing about the sto­ry we would tell around the service. […]

Week 238

We are most­ly work­ing on AJI right now with lots of pro­pos­als and small­er engage­ments run­ning in between. We are prepar­ing a ton of things for the com­ing six months vary­ing from new projects, to pub­li­ca­tions, exhi­bi­tions, pre­sen­ta­tions and teach­ing engage­ments around the world. Besides all of that we have also been enjoy­ing the unexpectedly […]

Week 237

On Mon­day I got sev­er­al vis­its from friends, fam­i­ly and col­leagues, all curi­ous about my new work­space. It was enjoyable—we even played some Ani­mal Upon Ani­mal with Eel­co’s kids—but not con­ducive to much pro­duc­tiv­i­ty. I main­ly did finan­cial and admin­is­tra­tive tasks. Alper, mean­while, returned from a much-deserved long week­end relax­ing (and drink­ing cof­fee) in Oslo. He […]

Week 236

Last week was anoth­er week work­ing full throt­tle on AJI which has now been giv­en an offi­cial name and domain (to be announced short­ly). We set­up a scrum list for the week and start­ed work­ing through that and we think that with the cur­rent veloc­i­ty we should be able to show stuff in 1–2 sprints. […]

Week 235

On Mon­day I set up my things in the new stu­dio at Vecht­club XL. They had been kept in hold­ing since the move out of Dutch Game Gar­den two weeks ago. With some help from the kind folk run­ning the space I was up and run­ning around mid­day. After a short peri­od of work­ing from […]

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 […]

The Gameful City, a preview of my chapter for The Gameful World

This year, MIT Press will pub­lish The Game­ful World, a book edit­ed by Stef­fen P. Walz and Sebas­t­ian Deter­d­ing to which I’ve con­tributed a chap­ter. The book will cov­er approach­es in game­ful and play­ful design, how it can be applied to a range of fields and its com­mon issues. For exam­ple, Ian Bogost will expand […]

Week 222

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

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 design […]

Week 219

Hav­ing returned from Lon­don over the week­end, I was back in the Utrecht stu­dio and joined by Alper who would be here the whole week. Our nor­mal rou­tine of remote col­lab­o­ra­tion is pret­ty effec­tive but it’s fun—and useful—to have the occa­sion­al week of work­ing face-to-face. On Mon­day I tied up some loose ends from our […]
