Nabeelden is an installation by Rein Jelle Terpstra presenting a series of stories of untaken photographs as told by the photographers. A touchscreen application containing a word cloud that functions as an interface to the content. The story titles float around in the cloud and can be playfully moved around by the user, or sorted in a list. Each story plays back as audio only while the screen slowly fades to black.

For the 2011 edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam, besides our usual video service, we produced an online video preview platform. High quality video, and fast world wide delivery were optimized using the latest cloud-front hosting technology.

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.

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.

This was the first exhibition, in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, of what ended up becoming a tour around the world. Duyser.net provided the countdown clock application, video encoding and automation for what was called the film landscape part of this very prestigious exhibition. It opened in Amsterdam and later went to Sweden, UK and USA. Commissioned by BeamSystems for Stedelijk Museum.

For the theatre company Onafhankelijk Toneel in Rotterdam, Rob Duyser was the producer of the opera performance of The Death of Klinghoffer, a modern opera by John Adams. This show had some tricky video scenery consisting of custom shot and edited material, samples of old films, and live camera mixed together and visible on 42 inch plasma screens as parts of the scenery.

For the centre of contemporary art in Middleburg, de Vleeshal, we provided video encoding and show automation for a number of exhibitions. This one called "Burning Car" by Danish artists Superflex. A technical highlight for video editing. In producing the film the artists used ichat and a few apple labtops to edit this film remotely (via screen sharing in ichat) from half way around the world. Encoding to optimize for this HD projection was done in the Vleeshal.

This project was exhibition automation is the broadest sense of the word. A custom built online forum workspace in which participating artists could moderate sound, images, and words onto their own channel. Ten channels in all, each with their own projection, were on display in the Central Museum in Utrecht. Through laptops, home or studio computers mobile phones or otherwise, the artist could upload and curate all content running into their channel.

For the picnic organisation we built and produced a hybrid system to cast venue and programme information to several large screens spread around the festival grounds. We combined numerous sources, pre-recorded material, pre to air feed from the main sponsor (UPC), and a traditional narrow caster for the schedules and tickertape. Essentially creating a mini TV station to run all information services for the four day event. Software development commissioned by BeamSystems for Picnic.
