A(rtspace)R(ondeel)M(aastricht) is honoured to invite you for 5 lectures about combating desertification with an independent designpanel at 20:00h on Saturday the 5th of september, and updates you about the Artspace at 19:00h that same day.
In 1969, for the first time a photograph of the Earth was published photographed by Apollo 8. This picture and the technological development in the 20th century changed public understanding of the Earth dramatically.
Scientific knowledge led to the theory that the various components of the Earth form a system, this led to the hypothesis that the entire biosphere is functioning as one organism.
Desertification is the degradation of land in arid, semi arid and dry subhumid areas resulting from human activities and influenced by climatic variations. Current desertification is taking place much faster worldwide than historically. A major impact of desertification is biodiversity loss and loss of productive capacity. In Africa, if current trends of soil degradation continue, the continent might be able to feed just 25% of its population by 2025, according to UNU’s Ghana-based Institute for Natural Resources in Africa.

sound paintings >> sound design for the wall
0 Comments Published by Administrator August 1st, 2009 in design, slowness, soundWhenever something moves, it’s very likely to have a sound due to the movement. Friction, resistance etc. are the power of sound. In this case I wanted to put it into a painting. Something to put on the wall and be reminded of the sincere expression of this movement. That is why i engineered the first series of sound paintings. It’s a start and as a matter of fact I would love to impose all settings and scenes of kinetic energy
on the wall.

blackbox >> a machine that does it all :-)
0 Comments Published by Administrator August 25th, 2008 in design, sound![]()

When I was making the blackbox at the kombinat > automaten workshop, i started with a old bontempi keyboard. Next to that I found a great designed Uetz suitcase, a classical storage system in Switzerland. In a moment I took off basicly all the mainpart of the keyboard like the keys, but I only left the volume and beat/accomp mix where it was.
Now I got a box that really interests me, cause it sounds everytime quit different, so it suprises over and over. Great for the concerts.
bending bass >> makes a boing tone
0 Comments Published by Administrator August 25th, 2008 in design, soundDuring the 10 x10 -> 11 days in cabaret voltaire I was able to make a bass that has a flexible body and a fixed foot where it can stand on. It sounds very deep and warm through the pick-up element from a guitar. The bass is made out of a bed slat base lying around in the magnusstreet in Zürich. Have a look at the picture.
90 degrees guitar >> very handy to play

also in the 10×10-> 11 dada days in cabaret voltaire, I was able to challenge the two guitars together and now they will always stay joined together for a special cause.
the classical side of the guitar sounds like an asian lute, more east.
the rockguitar sounds more like classic rock, more west.
try it out if you have to many guitars. It is a great deal of fun.
my first painting got stolen, did you see it?

PERFORMANCE & MOVEMENT
20:00u Lostbox
lostbox komt voort uit de fascinatie voor de mens, zijn lichaam als vorm en dat wat in die vorm afspeelt, de gedachtes en gevoelens.
Het is een onderzoek in de relatie tussen de verbale en non-verbale taal. Een onderzoek in de betekenis van een woord en de betekenis van een handeling.
Het lichaam staat voor de abstractie, de vorm, de buitenkant en de beweging.
lostbox is een belichaming van de uitdrukking ‘minder is meer’.

It ranges from the microcosm of designing small objects for
