In a pitch dark room abstract notion appears, echoing over infinite landscape, together with low and heavy sound that visitor can feel inside their chest. Installation was made for metamorphoses exhibition at KABK, under curation of Image class tutor Katrin Hoffman

A pulsing, abstract sphere floats in void. It senses incoming people, reacting to them in real time with sound and visuals. At its core lies a question: do you really want to reclaim control over violence? Installation draws inspiration from greek comedy, i.e. Aristophanes’ Birds

As visitor approaches the room visuals and sound intensify. Once visitor is inside the room the heartbeat calms down back to steady rhythm.

Full range of different visuals and sound depending on the distance from the sensor is on the following slides. The sound was not adapted for normal speakers, please beware when in headphones or on loud speakers

Sound was made in Pure Data and only adapted for low range subwoofer

Inside felt like on this video, but 1000 times cooler

Adventures in MET archive

This is a short story how I fell in love with publicly open collection of all sorts of objects by Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City

Two years ago, I didnt know that frontend can do API calls, but I somewhat knew Python and so I decided to built for myself a flask-thingy that would offer a better experiece for browsing MET's collection

Loading would actually take forever and it had a lot of other drawbacks, but high-res images against plain background were out there accessible and I learned a lot and most importantly came across with a realisation...

It is the unexpected meetings with images that drive my interest the most in this archive and not necesserily act of searching it.

Much better medium for that experience could be a Telegram Channel, where things would just appear without any of my input

Soon a small network of these themed channels came to be, making use of Chicago's Institute of Art API as well.

Its been 1,5 years since all of them are autonomously posting content at least once a week and I'm very happy to see some of them grow in followers beyond my friend group

And then, during class with Rafael Roncato we were invited to create a photobook of any sort. Where I decided to pick these telegram channels as my content and do my best of not turning this into a catalogue

While making this 600 page book a lot of tools were made along the way, leveraging Python, Bash and Processing

Rewire Reflections 2025

We as a team of 6 design students were invited to design a zine for rewire musical festival. We collaborated with 18 writers and 2 editors, making a publication on-site over the course of 3 days.

During Design Practice class at KABK real clients come to us and (!) pitch to students their projects that they want students come help with. Students in return usually get some sort of a reward. With the case for Rewire they gave us tickets in return for a zine that we designed for them.

This festival takes place for 3 days over many location in The Hague, lots of musician in all sorts of venues, mostly experimental musicians. They also invite writers for the second year in a row to write texts that will be published in a zine during festival. For us, designers, that basically meant an action, on-site quick design sprint. And we did it

My role involved many interesting things, to start off I put together an app that makes use of iPhone camera and creates this abstract glitch scan. We later used it onsite, while typesetting the actual zine, in which we embed couple of close to our moments, making them unrecognizable to others but us.

And in short my role can be summarized on the next slide:

I also have a solid understanding of type-making, which came in handy when we were surprised with characters in names of couple of international authors. So I just added a couple of characters to the typefaces that were missing them.

Ahead more unexpected things aroused. There was this data science guy on team of writers who needed to include low resolution jpg screenshot of his dendrogram. The graph was crucial to include, without it the text wouldnt make any sense

Project image

So I made a tool to style dendrograms and export them in SVG.

I was also contributing actively towards the look and feel of the publication as a whole, where my idea of using a sewing machines on site was greeted with great passion and many other little things all contributed towards great success with the outcome of the zine

And the best part about it all is that they liked zine so much they invited us to work (paid) on the online archive. They have an idea in mind for a music platform journalism, something future proof to accumulate almost indigenious niche of journalism

Its still work in progress, but a sneak peek into whats coming can be seen here
