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 Path and Meaning

The Path and Meaning

“We walk down the path in Xikeng.” Three years ago, I started a note with that sentence. We visited a row of villages in the south of Zhejiang, and Xikeng (西坑) was at the end of the day — the least touristified town of them all. The village had dozens of old buildings, sliced by […]

Kunshan Diorama

Kunshan Diorama

Today, I’m visiting Zhengyi Old Street (正仪老街) in Kunshan — a city wedged in between Suzhou and Shanghai. This old street is a leftover slice in between other parts properly planned by the city. On the horizon, I can see construction cranes, as if they are threatening the area; ‘we are coming to you next’. […]
