R,W & R module - Description of work
Project 1: Work on the shop
Work on the Shop is a project initiated by Koehorst Show and The Incredible Machine in collaboration with CrossLab, Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam University. Selected students WDKA Dek22 working on concepts, scenarios and prototypes about The Shop of the Future.
I the re-wrote the terms and conditions from the zalado.nl (an online shop). A large and mundane list of rules and restrictions will be consistently overlooked in a web format.The final step was to let the text speak in harsh tone by a computer voice that thundered through space and urging shoppers to give up his rights.
In the course of the centuries stores have the atmosphere of our inner cities and states made of people shopping hobby number one. But the shop ‘as we know it does not seem to the lives we lead. I connect the the virtual and physical world to create a new retail experience.
Project 2: FREE?!
FREE!? is organized by Kennisland, in cooperation with the Willem de Kooning Academy, the Piet Zwart Institute, WORM, 010 and Creating the New Institute. I participated in the 3-day workshop in WORM where in the results are also shown in an exhibition in The New Insitute.
I have chosen to edit a quote from Situationisten. To use, copy work, or changed without acknowledgment is something we can not imagine in this time. I aks all the others groups they joint the workshop, to give there permission to accept the quote for all projects.
The concept free culture refers to all forms of cultural expressions that have been deliberately ‘freed’ by
their legitimate authors from the limitations that current intellectual property law, such as copyright,
impose on them. Free culture promotes the free distribution of works and tools to create the lowest threshold
possible for the access and transformation of culture for an audience as broad as possible.
Project 3: Wild Sounds
ROOT is a new pop-up exposition concept for emerging talent, all educated at the Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam. We strive to, not only find the right way of exhibiting works but also to accompany students or starting, recently graduated artists in finding their way in business and communication skills. Through collaborations, events and composing a diverse group of motivated creatives we try to capture the vivid atmosphere of the academy outside of it.
During this exhibition I present a audio installation. This audio system puts you to the test, it is an irritation or do you not notice it? The audio never stops, just like the digital sounds around you.
The mobile phone is an indispensable part of our society. The device gives us a lot of freedom and a continuous accessibility. But its use provides more and more irritation in public spaces. Can we propose a quit space without this wild digital sounds?
