UPC
Wi-fi names are just advertising spaces which internet providers don’t use. Our idea, as proposed to UPC, is to change standard wi-fi names like ‘UPC24408’ to names like ‘Blistering Fast UPC’, for all your neighbours to see. Since those same neighbour might be on UPC as well, we’ve made a list of network name to differentiate, instead of numbers, turning your wi-fi, into an ad.

Museum Booijmans van Beuningen
The museum ‘Boijmans van Beuningen’, in Rotterdam is plagued by chewing gum, sticked on the pavement around their entrance. To prevent and solve this, we plan to place an empty frame for visitors to stick their gum on. When filled, the artwork will be placed inside the museum, as a piece of art, and a gentle reminder.

The GDP growth has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, but real wealth is mostly concentrated in coastal […]

There are so many ways to define Shanghai, yet a few popular icons do a lot of the talking. As the international metropolis and a symbol of China’s rising economic power, there’s the Lujiazui (陆家嘴) skyline — with the Oriental Pearl Tower (东方明珠) and high offices of Chinese and multinational corporations.

Passing on the Baton

Day 2876 in Shanghai and I’m walking with Hasse on Dongdaming Road (东大名路) in the Hongkou district.
