    Bath Toy for Worm Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver Interrupting my conference coverage to try catching up some of the other stuff I’ve been doing. This piece of art by Florentijn Hofman is out in front of Worm (about which I’ve written quite a lot already). I love the duck, but also I was interested to…

    After my talk at De Geuzen, I wandered around downtown a bit and then had dinner with Florian at a cheap but good Roti place near Piet Zwart’s new location in the Kareldormanhoff. We are still trying to think about how to do a joint MA, but it’s proving much tougher than I originally expected.…

    Worm invadedOriginally uploaded by cuuixsilver Not caring so much about Worm’s status, being more focused on it’s principles and goals seems to account for some of the biggest differences between this group and many of the others. For example, unlike V2, which is explicitly disinterested in having students trooping through, Worm has carried out what…

    Now I will also finally finish writing about my meeting with Hajo, which I only half-covered before it was time for me to leave the Netherlands, and I’m anxious to get it all down. –I’m sure at least a few other people will write about the conferences I attended, but I’m the only one who…

    Having caught up everything about the graduation show, now I’ll get to the meeting I had this morning, with Hajo Doorn, director of Worm. I’ll start by saying that of all the meetings and conversations I’ve had about how different institutions work here in the Netherlands, this was by far the best. In addition to…

    Andre Fiore’s Cookie CensusOriginally uploaded by cuuixsilver This was another cool project, the Cookie Census. It lets you go to a website and identify what cookies are there and who placed them, and it will also show you the javascripts and little tracking bugs in the page. Right now it’s not so robust, but once…

    Florian and Marrieta watch Nancy perform “Paraphernalia”Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver And here you see some reaction to Nancy; this is before we all started singing along with her karaoke of A-ha and Tiffany songs… The point though is that people were really interested. And those who know them will recognize who is watching, but I…

    Nancy Mauro-Flude presents ParaphernaliaOriginally uploaded by cuuixsilver OK, this is Nancy’s performance which I mentioned already. I can imagine a lot of bands or performers that would really like to have something that is not only wireless, but responds to gestures, to position, rather than being just some keypad. And Nancy has personalized the interface…

    Worm bar Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver Here is the bar inside Worm; the whole thing is constructed inside a historical building, the structure which couldn’t be touched. So, everything is attached to a free standing metal framework and is all made of industrial scrap from the harbor. It’s amazing. About 4-5 projects were set up…

    Ok, back from dinner and more on the party at Worm. I have to say it was a blast, not least because I haven’t had the chance to go out dancing like that in years. First one of th Piet Zwart graduates did a performance, which was really cool. —Nancy Mauro-Flude did a final project:…
