Rehearsing the Revolution
CONCEPT, VISUAL LANGUAGE
Rehearsing the Revolution is a project initiated by Art collective SPACE.
The project facilitates a model which is supported through fictional storytelling to bring together conflicting parties, such as; community, citizen and policy. These parties will take on conflicts, search for common ground and set up a roadmap with scenarios for the future in which Deep Economy is established.
For this project I designed a visual language inpsired by organisms shifting their positions and searching for new ways of thinking.

Did not take place
VIDEO INSTALLATION
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.
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.

Uncertainty, certain
BOOK
For this project, I collected articles on vulnerable topics that could potentially question the position of science as verifiable and ordered. Topics such as politics, media, protocols, resistance, trust, etc. pass through the book. All the articles are interwoven to show the continuity of the vulnerable aspects.
