I have to say, number seven is still fresh in my mind. Even so, we’ve announced number eight. You’ll find the lineup below. I hope to see you in four weeks, on November 22 at the HKU Akademietheater. Rainer Kohlberger is an independent visual artist based in Berlin. The concept and installation design for the [...]

So week 165. One of those old-fashioned fragmented weeks that reminds me of why I decided a while ago that I should stop having more than two meetings on one day. Anyway. Following the weekend of Stekker Fest craziness I had a bit of an off day on Monday. Tuesday I sat down with Ianus [...]

I am sat at the studio while around me FourceLabs are putting the final touches to their installation for Stekker Fest. I’ll be there tomorrow to hand out buttons to players. It’s the first in a series of three playful additions to three festivals that I am overseeing – first called project Ebi and now [...]

This past week, again, was mostly about project Ebi. We kicked off the third iteration on monday with a review of the version we delivered the friday before. What followed was a heated discussion about the ruleset. I felt it needed a bit more depth so players would have more interesting choices. The trick is [...]

It’s the end of week 158 and I am sat at a table in what will soon be the new Dutch Game Garden. On the fourth floor builders are putting final touches to the studio FourceLabs and Hubbub will be sharing. I am on the first floor, with a gorgeous view of the Neude square [...]

I have some catching up to do with these. What can I say, things got in the way of writing last week’s notes. These past two weeks I have been pushing to get a new project, codenamed Ebi, off the ground. It is the next step in my involvement with the PLAY project in Utrecht. [...]

Crazy, crazy week I am glad to have survived. But wait, it’s not done yet. Tomorrow (saturday) I’ll be running a workshop in Leidsche Rijn with local young folk, for Cultuur19. The aim is to design a little social game that’ll function as a viral marketing tactic for our upcoming urban games design workshop in [...]

Tweetakt is happening in Utrecht at the moment. It’s a youth theatre festival, really pushing the limits of what we think that means. As an example, they’ve provided space for several installations at the festival centre on the Neude. I went over for a quick look today – even though I know most of the [...]
