Monday Kars prepped a KAZUNOKO session with some games to play both to serve as an icebreaker and to show the breadth of experience possible in games. For this the classic This Is My Nose and the card game Scopa proved to be a great fit. If you have never played This Is My Nose […]

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
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 […]

So, hello from NYC. We’ll be here for a few more days before heading back to Utrecht and Berlin. After spending a week seeing the sights with my lovely wife, last week I moved to an apartment in the Lower East Side and started work on Beestenbende. Simon had designed the new UI in record […]

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 […]

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 […]

Alper started last week putting the final touches on the code‑y bits behind a Tumblr we set up to capture a part of the things that pass through Hubbub’s semi-closed studio chat channel. Meanwhile, I did some work on a Processing sketch that would help Simon with the art for the playable infographics we’re making […]

Last week was pretty busy. The first few days were taken up by our first intermittent delivery for SANMA. I put together our ideas in a slide deck mainly made up of scans of sketches and photos of whiteboards. A lot of this was aimed to provoke more than to solve. We went through the deck […]

Last week was filled with high intensity ideation for which Kars was present at our Berlin outpost at KANT. We filled the week with hard work and refueled on the great food available near our studio on Oranienstraße. I visited the Berlin IoT meetup on Monday before picking up Kars from the airport. We spent […]
