siblingnation.net, 2012
A website with a unicode world-clock for the (mostly) Melbourne-based Architects Sibling Nation. Please be a bit patience with the loading times, it's hosted in Australia.
A website to show the works of the artists in residence at De Ateliers in Amsterdam. This would be one partial solution on how to deal with an increasingly page based layout, while at the same time keeping the good old scrollbar.
beursschouwburg.be, 2012
They are doing a lot of things in the beursschouwburg in Brussels, so there has been a bit of trying out and finding structures that fits their programme. Visually, it's the first time I use some form of grid, and I think that might happen again, in one way or another.
arnhemmodebiennale.com, 2011
For the Arnhem Mode Biennale 2011 I got the chance to try some things with the 'fold' (the difference between the immediately visible area, and what is visible after scrolling). And in general, a bit more focus on the surface and spatial structuring than, say, cognitive structures.

poly-luna.com, 2010
Portfolio website for Luna Maurer. It's using algorithm-based image placement so the layout keeps it's characteristics regardless of the screen size.
rietveldacademie.nl, 2010
Website for the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. It's a combination of a regular hierarchical website and an open publishing platform for anyone within the academy to publish images, text and videos in their own name. With Alexander Shoukas and Kjartan Fridriksson.

Website for the temporary café and gallery 'Popup Cafe'. With Per Törnberg.
Render Clouds, 2009
For a party and homey poster competition by Marie Bourlanges and Marie Burlot on the theme 'posters on posters'. Screen printed by Kees Maas.
Pendulum Poster, 2008
Pendulum Poster for the 'Masterpiece Series', a project by Claudia Doms.
A series of eleven posters, shown one at a time in the window at the Meneer de Wit, for two weeks each.
Some of the posters were made by us in the studio, and some by others that we invited.
The setting how the poster should be presented was determined by Claudia: In front of the window there was a white-painted, quite heavy, wooden board hanging from the ceiling in two strings. The poster would be mounted on the board. The weight of the board made it a good pendulum. A scanner is attached to the ladder with the lid left open. It works relatively OK as a camera, but since it takes some time for it to register the image, the movement of the board makes a pattern.

Masterpiece Series flyers, 2008
Later in the series, it was the turn for Radim Peško to make and exhibit a poster. This is the flyer to announce the opening. It needs less of explanation than the flyer for Raoul Teulings, which consists of a subtle gradient between two similar colors on an A1 format poster (screen printed by Kees Maas). When it's cut down to pieces of A5 size, the gradient is almost not visible.
Open Dag, 2008
For the Rietveld Open Dag, me and Merel van den Berg emailed all teachers and students (around 1000) and asked them for for quotes from discussions done in class. We selected 100 from the contributions we got and put them up in the stairways during the open day, and later collected in a book.
Questions and Answers, 2007
A generetated book with answers to questions. AOL (a competitor to Google) released around 35 million search queries, done by American citizens during 2006, to the public. (See AOL Data Leak). A fraction of this data (but still a lot of data) was, for different reasons, written as full sentences. Some of it was questions and some of it fragments or statements, and such.
The book is the result of an automatic process of combining answers with questions using word matching: If a word exists in both the question and the answer, they are paired together. Such as "Why are gas prices so high?" - "Because I got high". The result is a 600 paged book with around 2000 questions answered with 1-20 answers each.

Scans, 2008
Different time related experiments with a scanner, including using it as a camera. For example, when scanning the passing traffic out the window, the perspective of the cars gets different depending on what way they pass the registration beam of the scanner.
