A day not updated is a day not lived

I’m a strong believer of blogs and my way of formulating my thoughts and making sense of life. I need to give those thoughts structure an space, to create some peace and quiet inside my insight. But at the end updating takes considerable more thought (what’s a good thing) and time. Creating a mirror on

Zandoog – the sequel

Spoke to Timo Mank on the phone today. A selection of the video’s shot for zandoog will be shown in New York including two of mine. Letters e and a</a> of levend zand (living zand). And will be traveling the world (also london and ..) within a presentation at a fair. Great news.

Ik mocht voor de academie voor popcultuur in Leeuwarden een workshop voorstel doen. Dit is ‘m. read – write – execute (777) De workshop haakt in op de hedendaagse tendens op het internet: blogs en het gebruik van video en audio snippets. Ik heb dan ook voor om een blog te maken en content te

Het was goed op Ameland (tijdens Zandoog en het maken van Levend Zand).

Tolkresj website

Naast een publieke site die als CMS gebruik maakt van de open source software Pivot. Is er ook een besloten site voor de ouders. Zowel de vormgeving, concept als het technische gedeelte is van mijn hand. Natuurlijk in overleg met de andere ouders in deze ouder geleide kresj. De bedoeling van de website was dat

Levend Zand (3)

Op uitnodiging van Timo Mank organisator het project Zandoog heb ik een vlog bijgehouden waar ik van 21 tot en met 29 mei elke dag een video (met als thema levend zand) publiceerde met het die dag geschoten materiaal. Het volg is te vinden op not-on.tv. Andere participanten waren: Park4DTV, Peter Mertens/Harold Schellinx/Dick Tuinder, Herwolt

Scaling down

Is killing my enthusiasm. Started working with video again from the 24th of april till now and it is quit intense. Making long hours and almost nothing to show for it. And people around me telling to stop trying and scale down to unacceptable levels. The technical setbacks are demotivating and these loved ones aren’t

Les Blogs ’05 (5)

Het op eigen initiatief opzetten van een vlog. En het registreren van Les Blogs 2005 in Parijs. En deze registraties omzetten naar een web presentatie. Met als doel belanghebbende informatie beschikbaar te maken voor iedereen.

Het blijkt allemaal niet zo eenvoudig te realiseren. Teveel technologie, software en beperkingen om nog te doorgronden terwijl je gewoon wil maken wat je voor ogen hebt. Maar het is super leerzaam en heb me er helemaal in vast gebeten. Nu kijken of ik de paarden Movable Type, Flash, FCP en Internet onder controle krijg en goed laat samenwerken.

Volgend weekend naar Ameland om de eerste beelden te vangen.

Caputering, rendering, capturing, rendering, capuring, rendering…..Les blogs 2005.

Life is about control?

I honestly don’t know why I don’t have any drive to transform work into money. I’m a spoiled brad. A “product” of the social structure of the Netherlands. Finished my school carrier in 1997. Knowing nothing about how to cash in on my education. No wonder, I studied for artist. I’m living in my theorized

Les Blogs ’05 (3)

Working on the video presentation of Les Blogs for 6 days non stop. The new option to use Flash to stream video looked great and the ideal way to show the presentation and video at the same time. And bring about a new way to unlock information. But while working with the actual footage (I

Powers of Ten

Philip Morrison died Friday, April 22, at home, at the age of 89. A man that had a great influence on life as we know it. Being one of the men that made the Atomic Bomb (became a strong opposed of nuclear weapons after he visited Hiroshima). Morrison was widely known for his research and

Spring in Paris

The warm wind is playing with the seeds from the trees.

When in Paris…

One should visit Tour Eiffel. Well here I am. Went to the top and back again.The cliche is true I’m afraid. It’s an experience. It’s not the view that is impressing me. You are easily bored with small houses and people, losing you’re sense of depth. That it was build in 1889 blows me away.

Les Blogs ’05 (2)

The conference is done. It was super interesting and me and Luc captured all of it. We dind’t run out of tape or power. So great he was there to help me with his expertise.

Can’t wait to put it all video together get it in Flash and on the newly created website not-on.tv. So that a lot more than 250 people can enjoy this great content.

The first pannel of Les Blogs is about to start. I have all the camera’s set up. One for filming the presentation and the other for close ups of the speakers. Thanks Luc for helping me!

Every mistake is an opertunity to create

Looking at the performance of an artist at a party. Not a lot of people are paying attention to him making this painting. He is definitely concentrating on this work and seriously trying to create an autonomous work. He is giving it thought, makes mistakes, acting upon it, looking for balance and is definitely not

Thank you for your enlightened dress-code

Worn light-brown boots of suede, black jeans and and all flower dress with short sleeves showing you are red by nature. Being lightweight and over enthusiastically talking to gray middle-aged men. Not over the age of 25, English in Paris. Feeling comfortably the odd one out.
