Doomsday Dopamine Karaoke Machine reflects on how social media profits off our most extreme emotions, not caring about content but generating addictive dopamine instead. Sing karaoke while live news is streaming in the background.

Tonight is Museum Night in Amsterdam. See you there!

I'm making a new work for Big Dada, opening Oct 31st at Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam.

Reflecting on how Instagram and other platforms are profiting from our most extreme emotions, you can sing your heart out at my karaoke, while streaming 24-h news.

FInd me at GOGBOT's symposium this Saturday!
I'm running The Blue Dungeon, a small world-building tabletop game that I wrote for #GOGBOT, that questions the future of social media in a medieval high fantasy setting 😏

Nastia and I hosted our post-chaos knowledge-meets-airhorn quiz at many places, but The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science was a first last Thursday. ⚡
During IS HET KUNST OF MAG HET WEG? we quizzed the audience on artists who turned websites, surveillance footage and memes into art pieces.

Ars Electronica was last week, and it was a blast. Model Collapse was visited bij 9000 people!
Thank you Tetem for the incredible production - as well as Telemagic's Cyanne van den Houten and Ymer Marinus.

My friend @zeno4ever.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy is organizing Hackfest in Enschede this Sep 13th - a gathering for hackers and tinkerers to show off their cool builds.
Last year, we turned the smart doorbell jumpscare kit into a bumper car 🏎️ .
They're still looking for participants! hackfest.nl

Volkskrant techredacteur Simoon Hermus ging voor "Someone is at your Front Door" op zoek naar de menselijke kant van de slimme deurbel. Over het schuren tussen wet, burger en politie wordt veel geschreven, maar hoe denkt je vrouw nu anders over je nu er een slimme deurbel is? Lees: buff.ly/Xw9ETRU

A smart doorbell just for your cat? Or one with an adjustable camera-arm... or what about a smart doorbell that compliments you while you walk by?

--> Some of the concepts created at The Smartest Doorbell workshops at @publicspaces.net and @waag.bsky.social on June 13&14. More info: buff.ly/szaSmfa

Telemagic's model.collapse is at @noorderlichtphoto.bsky.social Biennale, Groningen, July 13.

A multi-dimensional archive about AI - while an AI librarian guides you through this 3D and 2D digital environment in search for artifacts..

Amazing work @cyannevdh.bsky.social and Ymer Marinus <3

Two weeks ago I launched "Someone is at your Front Door" at PublicSpaces!

20% of Dutch homes have a smart doorbell and the numbers are growing rapidly. We're constantly quoting "1984", but love this surveillance gadget. WHY??

It's officially live! "Someone is at your Front Door" is an artistic research on the smart doorbell. -> someoneisatyourfrontdoor.com

What would a smart doorbell look like if it was designed with a human-forward mindset? Build the prototype of your dreams at this continuous design lab.

On show during:
Public Spaces Conference at Pakhuis de Zwijger - Fri 13th 10:00-18:00
Hyperlink at @waag.bsky.social - Sat 14th 14:00-20:00

Such an incredible week at Onassis Stegi last week! Cyanne is currently an artist in resident in Athens and I was invited to co-host .zip's Ghost Hardware workshop with them.

Participants used old tech trash from streets and flea markets to create buttons, linking them to Processing. 🔘

THU MAY 15 - 19:30 - 21:30 - .zip, Rotterdam
Crocs as smart doorbells??

The smart doorbell is everywhere, but sucks as a privacy-forward, security-promising product with shitty manufacturers. We can do better, come craft, discuss and patent the smart doorbell of your dreams!
