I recently found out that the artist responsible for the painting blue of this building lives just around the corner from us. Florentijn Hofman, does some really cool and, well, as you can see, really BIG stuff. I always liked the picture and since I discovered the rest of Florentijn's work I can say it gives rise to many interesting photo opportunities.

Touch screen table

This is a very nice combination of old and new. An antique wooden table with some added high tech. It is in essence a touch screen kiosk application built into a table top. The touch sensor works through pieces of glass which lay perfectly flush with the table top. These are sealed and waterproof which makes this installation very robust, and totally unaffected by liquid spillage or by other inanimate objects.

A fascinating exhibition by the Historical Museum Rotterdam which explores large numbers of plans and designs of all kinds of architecture for Rotterdam which never actually got built. A very virtual tour around the city of Rotterdam, envisaged from the dreams for the city by countless architects since the second world war.
Funk Staden - Dias & Riedweg

This piece called Funk Staden by Dias & Riedweg is quite special. It is about certain subcultures of Sao Paulo in Brazil. This show by de Vleeshal in Middelburg was beautifully made, and consisted of 3 large projection screens and 3 equally sized mirrors. The resulting effect was quite dazzling and seemed to perfectly carry the images of the rather confronting three screen film. This was a very high standard work, and a pleasure to be a part of.
