Description:
For the Art and Design Sale (link) in Eindhoven NL, Merel Vermeijden (link) and I needed something to carry our works in. Since we were going there by public transport we also couldn't take tables and chairs with us to present our works on. So I decided to make a cabinet which could be a presentation pedestal, as well as some sort of 'flight-case'. The 'Cabinetcase' above is the answer to these problems.
The cabinet not only proved to be practical, it inspired us to develop a presentation model for our work. Although this is still a work in progress we want to: showcase new works every 'season' in a self-contained environment as gesamtkunstwerk. This way of working will give us structure to our spontaneous way of working, or as we like to call it: improv-design.

February 10, 2010
Materials:
Outward bent staple
Description:
New media often resorts to notions of metaphysics and cybernetics in order to provide context for yet, unproved grounds. The question what new media is, or how 'new' new media is forms the discourse of this 'meta-dialectical' discussion.
The meta-staple is not a critique on new media, nor new media.
This introspection of the phenomenology of new media is limited to my conformity.
