Did not take place
VIDEO INSTALLATION
Named after a collection of three short essays by Jean Baudrillard: 'The Gulf War Did Not Take Place'. The culture theorist argues the Gulf war was a carefully scripted media event and its coverage in the news was used as a tool for imaging.
‘Did not take place’ is a two screen video installation, in which the narrative is visualised using a smartphone interface, experienced by the visitor on didnottakeplace.com. Using this particular ‘intimate’ medium produces an immersive experience and a new form of digital storytelling.
The project confronts the visitor with our current Western disconnected worldview towards conflict related news items. And researches how the smartphone user responds to contemporary political and society news related topics, which collide with personal, software and hardware notifications.
The narrative of the project is set in a suggestive scenario taking place in 2021; inhabitants flee the Netherlands. Using the interface of the main character, the visitor experiences her uncertainties and displacement.

Our (not so) guilty pleasure
THESIS
Ignoring conflict related news notifications on our smartphones by watching a 'cat videos' instead, but we won't escape the suffering of 'the other'. As cats might live in a human designed environment, all of the cat 'failures' captured on video represent an situation in which the cat is being 'spoken for' and taken 'advantage' of. Which means I am still looking at suffering.

WORKSHOP & PRODUCT
'Disarming Design from Palestine' workshop focuses on a collaboration between designers and artisans developing products, which exposes the current situation of the Palestinians.
The double-sided wooden maze toy 'In-Between' refers to the current situation of students at the Palestinian refugee camp 'Gaza' in Jerash, Jordan. As the students aren't allowed to continue their study at universities considering their current citizenship the two-sided Arabic texts 'dream' and 'reality' represents: their 'dream' to continue their education and 'reality' as the bureaucratic situation. This product is designed in collaboration with designer Nour Nsheiwat and made by artisan Jaber Tayeh.
