Week 171 & 172

I have a lot on my plate at the moment. A bit too much it seems. So it’s a good thing I got to wrap up a few things in the past two weeks… Most notably Maguro, for which we presented our design to the client last wednesday. We gave away quite a show, including [...]

Week 170

Time is short (as seems mostly the case these days) so a quick rundown of what happened this week: Opened registration for This happened – Utrecht #7 and ‘sold out’ in 8 minutes. Joined my group of students on a field research trip to the island of Pampus. Worked with the PLAY Pilots website team [...]

Week 169

Fiona Raby once told me that the majority of her work with students at the RCA was about psychology. After a week like this, I can see where she’s coming from. Without going into too much detail, I had my work cut out for me with a new group of students who I will be [...]

Week 168

So, I got back from a one-week holiday on Terschelling last weekend (which was lovely, by the way) and immediately dove into work again. So much to do at the moment, it’s a challenge not to get swamped. Anyway. And it is one of those weeks where I need to look back on my calendar [...]

Week 166

This week was all about frantically getting things sorted so that I can completely disconnect for a week on starting friday (tomorrow). Putting up the scaffolding for project Fugu; a collaboration with River Institute on an experiment in higher education at the UvA. Hubbub will be designing some ARG-ish additions to its program. I am [...]

Week 165

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 [...]

Week 164

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 [...]

Week 163

Last week you might have thought: “Can a weeknote be any shorter?” (in a Chandler voice.) Yes it can. This week was basically about getting a first version of PLAY Pilots out the door. And we did. So go, play, and let me know what you think.

Week 162

Slightly overdue so I’ll keep it (very) short. Project Ebi aka PLAY Pilots is in full production. Here’s a weeknote on the project blog about what happened last week. (It’s in Dutch, but Google Translate is your friend.) I am bringing on two interns to work on a project for the Amsterdam University. More on [...]

Week 161

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 [...]
