A small experiment in different ways of drawing, this program allows you to use your physical body and hands to draw digitally. By moving your left hand you control the cursor, and by raising your right hand above your left hand you simulate a mouse click. The software allows for your choice of control if you do not want to use your hands, like your head and your right foot. The strain of odd positions on the body makes the performance, the act of drawing, part of the drawing.

An online & offline point and click adventure.

Message delivery is about hand-delivering messages throughout Rotterdam . Getting a message from someone means you can a message to anyone in Rotterdam, whether personal or to someone you might not even know.
Concept to work out for next trimester;
1. Work on a digital version where sending someone a message becomes a privilege again; A website that allows people to send messages through e-mail, but only if they have received one. Would the fact that you know only you can send a message make you more inclined to do so?
2. A digital chat room where every person can only write one line, after which their IP is blocked. Do people pick up where others left a conversation? Can a conversation even develop with every line from someone else?

Attempts at a binaural audio walk. Sadly the dead-cat-less mics did not enjoy the wind.
A program that calculates the TPM (Tweets Per Minute) of a city. A literal rhythm of a city's social networking. I enjoy the idea of showing activity but not the activity itself. I want to work this out further in some way, one of the ideas of doing so would be neon signs with a #, which would light up if someone tweets with that tag.
