visual research project & printing methods

A research project of which the interest/fascination for fungi, mycelium and mushrooms manifested. By trying to find a balance of theoretical research and visual translation - the fungi project ended up to be fun and exciting, which would allow for experiments without hesitation. The photos are taken with a macro-lese in nearby forests of The Hague. Two photos have been selected to be printed as cyanotypes, also multicolored risographs use the same imagery. A3 cyanotypes, A3 risographs, Biotop paper 100-120gr, full color and multi colored prints (sketches and collages)

Magic Pills, Shroom Bubbles & Grey Clouds
Good Soup exhibition at Grad Show KABK

Final project and graduation work for the “Good Soup” graphic design exhibition that was part of the Graduation Show 2023 at the Royal Academy of Art The Hague. Taking inspiration from the thesis, by selecting a small sub-chapter, the curiosity would grow stronger and eventually it was used as the main theme for my graduation work. A few slides of the initial concept pitch show reasons of motivation and research questions. How could this project be relevant?

exhibition of mixed media 'fungi'

By trying to find a balance of theoretical research and visual translation - the fungi project ended up to be fun and exciting, which would allow me to experiment without hesitation. The final result became an installation of which different mediums came together in one space. Later on, she revisited this theme for her thesis and graduation proposal at the KABK Graduation Show (2023).

Log error Target

Log error target is a web browser game of which is based on the probabilities that are generated through the AI calculator from the Google Maps app. Through tracking and collecting our data from actual routes we take for navigation, even when these apps are not actively open and used, the AI simulator of the Semantic Location History of Google generates and makes calculations on all possible outcomes for each “device tag” (smartphone or other smart devices that have GPS tracking chips in their hardware).

Focusing on these ‘probabilities’ and assumptions that are made for you (by these tracking apps,) Log error Target is a representation of this generated system where ‘us’ the users are (thinking) we’re in full control of our destinations, but whilst moving places with our smart devices in our pockets, decisions have been made for us by the use
of percentages and variables.

Irma Boom Office | Internship 05.09.22 - 25.11.23

During my graduating year I worked a short 3 months at Irma Boom Office, alongside Irma Boom, Frederik Pesch and Anna Moschioni. Mainly assisting the team for various assignments. Sometimes small tasks including editorial work for Rijksmuseum (Nacht van de Geschiedenis, Familiemaand, ABN-AMRO, Schiphol, PCF Impact Awards 2022, etc.) Next to having also the freedom to conceptually work on internal assignements for the Rijksmuseum: museum shop, gallary/exh. labels, advertisements and the styleguide. I got the opportunity to work on a couple of short animations, including FONDS21 trailer at IDFA, Svenstk Tenn 100th anniversary logo, the Vatican Library: Boom! exhibiton. Other external parties and assignments I worked/assisted on: artist book: M. Readecker, logo design for Claudy Jongstra 'LOADS', Schiphol advertisements.

During my internship I really felt part of the IBO team, exchanging knowledge, skills

and advice while working on projects together. Out of personal experience I can say that this was one of the nicest internships I ever had to privilege to be working and be part of a close team. Also one of the perks of being an intern at IBO is being able to preview exhibition build ups at Rijksmuseum, visiting and checking the print-run at a printing press in Brugge, drink home grown Verbena tea and having the freedom to be yourself, having the space to grow as a designer, not only professionally.

The Good of Doing Nothing: documentation

During an exploration of the act of doing nothing - the collective 'Design Inquiry Group' gave the opportunity to question and understand what ‘doing nothing’ means in today’s society and how we all interpreted ‘doing nothing’ differently - also aside from our profession and our studies. Each week we would discuss subtopics around the act of ‘Doing Nothing’: ecology, breathing, the erotic, labour. With every topic and meetings every week, we would bring something to class and discuss this with tutors and peers - collaborate on small video projects and ensure to document the experiences translated into a publication and a short video: The Good of Doing Nothing. Cover: saddle stich bound, hand sown title.

Pages: duo & multicolor risograph, laser printed A3 Biotop 90-130gr, craft paper 80gr.

collective redesign | publication

Together with Alessandro Lucarini and Ronaldo Figueiredo, this redesign of the publication of Stuart Halls’ Representation was a short but interesting and sweet process. By trying first analysing the text ourselves, we tried to find a balance of clear communication of the text: we edited the use of images, defined more clearly the use of vocabulary, occasionally additional footnotes, and (re)structured the epistemology of the writer Stuart Hall to make this more accessible for a diverse public of readers.
