In God We Trust All Others We Monitor
A collaborative effort with Micha and Dave. During a working residency in Upominki in Rotterdam I started to further digest the reading of the first trimester and to work with the UAV patches I've been collecting lately. The result of the research will be output in a small zine made by the three of us. To this end Dave and me are writing an article based on thoughts and talks we had about the intersection of networks like the internet, geopolitics and recent events. The opening of the exhibition is the 21st of December, this will also be the presentation of the zine.

BYOB @ Kunstvlaai
For Kunstvlaai 2012 the Force of Freedom was asked to exhibit in Upominki's space during it's 'Day shifts: taking turns' exhibition. During this exhibition every day of the Kunstvlaai a different artist was asked to work in the space. The Force of Freedom kicked off 'Day shifts: taking turns' on the opening day of the festival.
So on the 23rd of november The Force of Freedom hosted an open BYOB (Bring your own beamer) event, providing a chance for any creator/collector of digital graphics to come exhibit his or her work during this otherwise heavily curated event.

Straight outta Tumblr
A small exhibition in the entrance of the W139 in Amsterdam. Where we showed images from force-of-freedom.tumblr.com in combination with a laser-cut reinterpretation of Michelangelo's David. To show the images I wrote (copy pasted) a script that would randomly read files to display from a folder on our website, so as we made more work for the blog, more would appear in the W139 slideshow. During the show the owner of the famous condom shop next to the W139 expressed interest in renting the sculpture, so until January that is where it can be seen.
