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.

Seeing as we utilize the quartz layer quite a bit, and over the last number of years, "quicktime" has become our middle name, we have noticed, significant performance improvements on most of our apps simply by upgrading to os x 10.6. In most cases we didn't accurately measure cpu load difference, but it has been a very noticeable power boost. (for free it seems). I am also recompiling the quartz apps under 10.6 to see if we can win back any more power.

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.
